[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884358, member: 683408"] Why is it that you and Spokey always answer very clear and direct questions with sidesteps, tangents, backpedals, misdirection? I'll make the question as short as possible "Who pays the tariff?" YOU looked to a specific page to prove that tariffs are a great thing. The same page shows how much of a punishment they were to the average US household last time. How much did the foreign countries bow to Trump's demands? [LIST] [*][SIZE=5]The Trump administration imposed nearly [U]$80 billion[/U] worth of [U]new taxes[/U] on Americans by levying tariffs on thousands of products valued at approximately $380 billion in 2018 and 2019, [U]amounting to one of the largest [URL='https://taxfoundation.org/taxedu/glossary/tax/']tax[/URL] increases in decades[/U].[/SIZE] [/LIST] YOU are the guy who has been complaining about higher prices all along, but you think they are good when TRUMP causes them, AND we don't see any of the promised benefits? So, can you show me where the punitive tariffs Trump enacted were a success, other than us paying more for goods? A difference of 1.6% in the popular vote is not a landslide, not matter what your personal definition of the word might be. Interesting, as Coke doesn't release their sales data to the public, and Bermuda is not part of Brazil. But if you assume the tariffs keep Coke sales down, then Bermudans must not be buying much of ANY of the most common food staples that we eat here.
