Yes sorta like a backdoor tax without outright raising taxes on the middle class lower class and poor but corps take advantage of this by lets say before tariffs something costs 5.00 which is base price plus profit for the corp. Now they never tell you the dollar amount of the added tariffs so u
don't know. The tariffs are let's say 3.00 extra dollars per product in which that costs is passed to us but the corp takes advantage of that by earning extra profit so instead of increasing the product to 8.00 they increase it to 15.00. They are robbing us in the front back and in plain sight.
