Would tariffs affect higher-income folks (imported goods) vs low-income (local food/shelter/clothing)?

Wonder if there's a non-partisan/non-biased website that could give a clear picture

You don't need a non biased website to tell you that. Goods costing %25 more affects the low income folks way more.

Think about it this way, eggs go from $3 to $10. Someone with high income is barely affected. If you make min wage at $7 an hour its a huge burden.

But eggs aren't imported, are they?

I was also wondering about people who buy things but don't pay taxes.
