Other things equal, this is certainly true. It's also true of all other taxes.

At present, they're talking about replacing other taxes with these new tariffs. I think that will be a net positive, but until they actually do it, these are just additional taxes on the economy.

I strongly doubt they'll ever do it. But we'll see it.
