Original Note:
Tariffs generally are passed on to the consumer in the way of increased prices to cover cost to the supplier. In addition the higher price on foreign goods raises the "fair price" of the market so domestic goods increase prices. This again is paid by the consumer. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/5-things-to-know-about-tariffs-and-how-they-work https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2025/mar/13/karoline-leavitt/karoline-leavitt-says-tariffs-are-a-tax-cut-econom/ https://www.epi.org/publication/tariffs-everything-you-need-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask/
