Original Note:
"Tariffs are a tax on corporate activity" is false. A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on goods imported from another country. It's not a general tax on corporate activity — it's specifically tied to international trade. A tariff applies only to imported goods. https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/resource/tariffs-101-what-are-they-and-how-do-they-work/ https://www.trade.gov/import-tariffs-fees-overview-and-resources https://taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox/what-tariff-and-who-pays-it
