Small business owners express deep concern over the impact of tariffs on their operations. Increased costs for essential materials like packaging are making it challenging to remain competitive. Many fear they must raise their prices, potentially alienating customers or absorbing significant losses. The sentiment reflects a frustration with current economic policies and leadership, especially the push for 'Buy American' initiatives, which seem impractical given the current economic conditions. There is a belief that decision-makers are disconnected from the realities faced by small business owners.
I have a small business and I was already terrified of the tariffs stuff before it started. I kept telling people, 'They seriously want to kill small businesses. Plain and simple.' I buy packaging and other materials wholesale, making my prices more competitive... A few dollars here, a few dollars there ADDS UP FAST.
They want it to be the '50s so badly, and part of that mentality is 'BUY AMERICAN!' but we are SOOOOO far beyond that. It's nearly impossible to only buy American these days.
