Feels like these trade policies are basically just adding a hidden consumption tax on American businesses and everyday buyers. The math doesn't work out—you'd think someone would've figured that out beforehand.

Well, that's right. It's just shifting the tax burden onto the common people. Politicians should have thought this through long ago.

Basically, it's just a disguised way of harvesting profits. Ordinary people buy everything at high prices, and companies are also suffering. Can you really figure out this accounting?

Trade policies are just ways to keep cutting the leeks; after all the calculations, it's still the common people who pay the price. Who would have thought...

Tariff policies are essentially a way to squeeze retail investors; both American companies and consumers have to pay the price. There's no way to calculate who benefits.

In the end, trade wars just make ordinary people pay the price. Who can't understand this logic?

NGL, this is just a disguised way of cutting leeks. The costs are ultimately passed on to consumers. Do policymakers really not do the math?

NGL, this is just a disguised way of cutting leeks, passing the costs onto ordinary people to pay the bill. I really can't understand the logic of the decision-makers.
