[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8884636, member: 683408"] You know history, I'm sure. And history is that tariffs generally were dropped in favor of taxes (here in the US, at least). If we're going to just increase the taxes in SOME way, why not be honest about it? Keeping the current sales taxes and adding a tariff tax on top of that doesn't cost less than if you just taxed the products more. If that sub amp costs you $30 more tomorrow, would it be OK if it was tariff-based, but not tax-based? The same people who will scream bloody murder about a tax increase are accepting a tariff, because "MAGA!!!" It's a matter of semantics, but the money comes out of our pocket either way. [/QUOTE]
