She thinks she has a point on tariffs, but you effectively destroyed her "point" with one sentence.

No one is forced to buy foreign products, but people are forced to pay the higher taxes that all Leftist Filth want imposed on everyone.
That may have been true when the US still manufactured things, but very few people would be able to live in this world without buying imported goods, Reggie. You're full of shite, as usual.

I always try to buy America. It isn't hard to do. No one has ever forced me to buy anything from a foreign source

This is why a tariff is not a "tax" because no one is forced to pay it. People who buy foreign products do pay extra to cover the tariff, but it is not a tax since no one is forced to buy those products.

We're not talking about people in this world, we're talking about Americans and tariffs on foreign products that are more expensive due to the tariffs.

No American is forced to buy foreign products; therefore tariffs are not a "tax."

Are you going to appeal SCOTUS when they disagree with you? Who are you going to appeal to? :LOL3:

SCOTUS can say whatever they want. That lying piece of garbage filth, Roberts, called Obamacare a "tax" and that's why our health care system is fuckewd to this day.

He called it a "tax" because everyone was "compelled" under the ACA to purchase a healthcare plan - a provision that has since gone by the wayside, but we still have Obamacare.

Tariffs are not a tax because no one is compelled to pay by force of law.

If I decide to buy a foreign products, I agree to pay the increased cost due to tariffs. I am not forced to by that product.

It is not a tax.

If people need a toaster and no American manufacturers make toasters or TVs, they have no choice but to buy foreign.

You can't even buy a car that doesn't have foreign parts in it. You are a liar, Ragey.

Americans especially. It's almost impossible. Where is your phone from? Your computer? Even if you drive an American car, where did the car company get all the parts? Your clothing? Your pots and pans? Your shoes, even? Your damn lightbulbs and extension cords. Vacuum cleaner. Don't be delusional.

Deflection.

A tariff is not a tax on the American People.

So, yoou have a Mac Book. NOT made in the USA. Just because you bought it before the tariffs doesn't mean you can survive now on US made only products.

Do you check before you buy produce to make sure it wasn't imported?
Yes, I usually do, Lotus. But as I explained to Lily, gently and typing slowly to help her keep up, if I choose to purchase a foreign product that is subject to a tariff, that is my choice and I am not compelled to do so.

Even when I do buy American made, I know I am going to pay several times more than what I'd pay for an imported product.

I buy from Duluth

When you buy anything at all, what is that little extra bit you pay after the initial value? Nobody is forcing you to buy anything at all....but there's a term applied to something that's done at the time of payment. Can you guess what it is, dumbass?

Of course you don't want anything to do with what I said. Your "betters" didn't prepare you enough for my question?

Or maybe you're too focused thinking about fathers fucking their daughters?

Sorry fuck.
You had a question? Sorry. I didn't really read your post and rarely do anyway. I just saw you poasting and thought I'd ask you how much moar you paid for your oriental masturbation toys with the tariffs now.

Are you talking calculus here?

Fuckin' "initial value".
