Management Essentials

The Supreme Court striking down the administration’s tariffs is being framed as a “win for business.” Not so fast....

Let’s be honest about what already happened. We have several clients that endured this, and here is the truth..

Many small businesses absorbed higher costs to stay competitive.
Others were forced to raise prices, meaning consumers paid more.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government collected roughly $130B in tariff revenue — money that, as of now, isn’t being refunded.

So while ending the tariffs may help going forward, the past impact remains:

*Businesses took the hit.
*Consumers took the hit.
*Government kept the money.

Small business is the backbone of the U.S. economy — and real wins should include accountability for the costs already borne, not just future relief.
