Question

Do you think tarrifs encourage americans to buy their own products b/c its patriotic?

Answer 1

Not even close to a SEO question

Answer 2

sure, and it makes prices more competitive too.

Answer 3

I think the tariff can decrease the import quantity because it increases the price of import goods. The main factor which affect the consumers' decision is the price they pay not the feeling. However, WTO is trying to lower the tariffs to a minimum level. Americans'll buy from other countries that have lower costs. America is a free market, isn't it? : )

Answer 4

Yes it does,it make people patriotic

Answer 5

I don't.  There should be totally free trade everywhere.  Take the best deal you can get.  It encourages free enterprise, competition,  capitalism, and innovation.  If anything, Tarrifs are unAmerican.  Its more of a socialist sort of thing if you ask me.  It sends the message to Americans that they are weak and have to be protected, rather then letting there own products stand for themselves.
