William Lindsey :toad:<p>"As oligarchs can further avoid taxation, taxes fall more heavily on the poor and middle classes. Tariffs typify this trend, since they are taxes paid primarily by the consumer, not the supplier.

Despite concerns, stock futures showed optimism, with the S&amp;P 500 bouncing back from losses. The potential flexibility in tariffs and specific exclusions brings some relief, while mixed economic data continues to worry markets.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The US is one of the world’s richest economies, yet it also runs one of the largest trade deficits – a paradox that was similarly evident during the declining phase of British imperialism. The persistent US trade deficit is tied to two key developments in the post-World War II order which made this period and the US deficit quite distinct. First, in its effort to consolidate capitalism on a global scale, the US absorbed surplus production from Western Europe and Japan, helping to stabilize their economies while reinforcing its own economic hegemony. Second, to secure the dominance of the dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency, the US came to function as the global consumer of last resort – continuously importing goods and allowing dollars to circulate worldwide, thereby ensuring their availability for international trade. This structural role made trade deficits an integral part of American imperialism rather than a problem to be solved by protectionist measures like tariffs.</p><p>This historical context highlights the paradox at the heart of Trump’s tariff strategy: while the US trade deficit has long been a structural feature of its global dominance. Trump portrayed it not only as an economic weakness that needed urgent correction but also as a burden the nation has shouldered for the benefit of global economic stability. His administration framed the tariffs as a means of rectifying this imbalance to prioritize domestic prosperity. And so, during his first political campaign, Trump introduced the slogan MAGA and positioned tariffs as a central tool for addressing the trade deficit. <br>(...)<br>However, the Trump argument oversimplifies the economics of tariffs and contradicts historical evidence that tariffs is ineffective for reducing trade deficit."</p><p><a href="https://socialistproject.ca/2025/03/canada-us-trade-war-reality-check/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">socialistproject.ca/2025/03/ca</span><span class="invisible">nada-us-trade-war-reality-check/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TradeDeficit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeDeficit</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliticalEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticalEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Economics</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Protectionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protectionism</span></a></p>
