USA Alone
Against EU, Canada, UK and China
That’s right, taxes on foreign goods make the goods more expensive, but they are taxes on foreign goods and that just means that you will pay the government money for the goods. Those who send you the same money for the goods should not pay more or less, but those who buy it in the country should pay more, 25% more if it is 25%. Tax or duties and that means that the user himself is allowed to pay the 25%, more for those who are going to import, of course, they don’t pay the five percent, they just put it on top of the goods and then you will pay 5% more to the government, so an extra tax for you as a consumer.
Let’s imagine that you are going to buy a Maxus for $32,000, then there will be 25% taxes on it and that means that it will cost $40,000. The difference of the $8,000 goes to the government/state. The seller will still buy the car for the same price, but in order to be able to sell it in the country, the seller will have to pay the $8,000 to the tax/government/state. Therefore, they raise the price of the car by $8,000 for you. So you pay the state an extra $8,000 to the state. Not the other country and not the seller. That means that the government gets the $8,000 and it becomes more expensive for you. You could imagine that you would then want to buy the product produced in your own country. But it may not be found or produced in your own country and even if your own country made the same product, we would have difficulty delivering and producing the same product at the same cheap price that foreign countries would be able to sell it at. And that would still apply even if you had added 25% more. We still wouldn’t be able to make it as cheaply. An example of that would be clothes that can be produced incredibly cheaply abroad, even if they got 25% more, which of course went to the state and it became 25% more expensive for you as a user, it would still be cheaper than if it were to be produced in our own country. |
Not only that, if we put 25% taxes on another country’s products, they will also put taxes on products that we sell to them. And there is no question that they cannot do it cheaper themselves. It just means that the country will no longer want to buy our products and they will find other cheaper alternatives and it must have been completely legal when you raise a product by a full 25% and have not tried to make an agreement that is beneficial to both parties. When you just go ahead and think that you can put taxes without entering into a mutual agreement, the other party gets angry. It is a breach of trust. And if you break the trust of a counterpart in this way and if the counterpart is Europe or Canada, it is something they remember for a really, really, really long time. It hits a feeling that is impossible to remove again. Especially when it comes from a country that lives highly on the other party’s mutual trust in each other. If you can do something like this to your friends once, you can also do it again another time. And the other party will now act on that, both now and in the future for the next 10 years.
They will trade among themselves. They will build cooperation agreements, trade agreements and deviation agreements. They will find other countries with which they can trade and cooperation agreements, trade agreements and deviation agreements will also be made.
This will not only mean taxes on a certain product, but it will also be difficult to sell other products, and especially selling other products. Because other countries have now found other places to buy the products. The other countries’ consumers are now so angry that they unconsciously avoid your products in the country. They find their own alternatives.
And what does this mean for your own country. It means higher prices, companies have to close because they cannot produce enough in your own country, when you cannot get raw materials from other countries you cannot produce for your own country and this leads to inflation and high prices, as well as isolation from other countries. We live separately from Europe, Russia, Africa and China, which are all linked by land. If trade between these countries improved, we would function as a deserted island, sandwiched between Mexico and Canada, which would now rather trade with Europe.
