- What are tariffs and how do they affect consumers?
- Tariffs are taxes on imported goods, and the cost is ultimately passed on to consumers through increased prices.
- Is there evidence supporting the claim that tariffs boost domestic production?
- The claim that tariffs improve domestic production is misleading, as high tariffs on goods like footwear and apparel haven't increased domestic production.
- How might tariffs differently affect large corporations compared to small businesses?
- While large companies with wide margins might absorb some costs, small businesses with less leverage will likely increase prices or lay off employees.
- What are the potential financial impacts of Trump's proposed tariffs on American households?
- Trump's proposed tariffs could cost the average American household over \$2,600 annually, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
- How does the Trump Bible's pricing model illustrate the varying impact of tariffs on businesses?
