Cohn joined CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning, just after Trump posted online that once tariffs kick in, many people who make less than $200,000 annually will see their income taxes “substantially reduced” or eliminated. “The other thing we need to understand about tariffs — and I think this is obvious — is tariffs are highly regressive, meaning that poorer people end up paying a disproportionate percentage of the tariffs, because they spend 100 percent of their paycheck on goods,” Cohn said. Cohn, who left the first Trump administration in 2018 and now is vice chair of IBM, highlighted how lower-income Americans will use a large portion or all of their paycheck to purchase goods, many of which will have increased prices due to Trump’s tariffs. “Wealthier people save a bigger percentage of their paycheck,” he said. “So, the tariffs are going to affect the poor people more.” Cohn also argued the impacts of the tariffs are going to begin to be felt in the coming weeks, toward the end of May. He noted, as the administration continues to battle with China, which has also refused to come to an agreement after the initial tariff hikes, that the distribution cycle for a product is about eight weeks. After Trump’s April 2 “Liberation Day,” those impacts will be coming soon, he said. “The lag effect of getting goods to this country will not be felt for another two to four weeks,” Cohn said. --------------------------------------------------------- 中文翻譯： 標題：前特朗普經濟顧問：關稅是「高度累退的」，將影響下層階級 前總統特朗普的經濟顧問加裏·科恩表示，總統的關稅將是「高度累退的」，對下層傷害最大。 科恩在周日早上加入了哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞節目《面對國家》，就在特朗普在網上發布消息後不久，一旦關稅啟動，收入低於20萬美元的人將看到他們的所得稅「大幅減少」或取消。 「關於關稅，我們需要了解的另一件事——我認為這是顯而易見的——是高度累退的，這意味著更貧窮的人最終會支付不成比例的關稅，因為他們將100%的工資花在商品上，」科恩說。 科恩在2018年離開特朗普第一屆政府，現在是IBM的副董事長，他強調，低收入美國人將使用很大一部分或全部工資來商品，其中許多商品由於特朗普的關稅而價格上漲。 「富人會存下工資的更大一部分，」他說。「因此，關稅對窮影響更大。」 科恩還認為，關稅的影響將在未來幾周開始顯現，即5月底。 他指出，隨著政府繼續與中國，中國也拒絕在首次關稅提高後達成協議，產品的分配周期約為8周。在特朗普4月2日的「解放日」之後，這些影響將很快到來他說。 「將商品運送到這個國家的滯後效應在接下來的兩到四周內不會被感覺到，」科恩說 ============================ 心得 / 評論： 川普第一任的經濟委員會主任說五月底關稅將會在美國體現巨大影響。低收入美國人會把所有薪水用來購買商品 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 123.52.228.159 (中國) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/Stock/M.1745793665.A.24C.html 5F噓 sssallen : 信用破產的傢伙 04/28 08:15 ※ 編輯: icrose (218.28.117.234 中國), 04/28/2025 15:44:08
