Re: "Tax incidence is complicated but typically Americans do pay more for items with tariffs imposed on them than they otherwise would."

I agree!

(But then... I already said that: I would argue that tariffs are [taxes] too... I agree... that indirect assessments such as tariffs to a large degree pass-through and that the differences in kind (although real) are also largely semantic if and when one comes to consider such things as "total burdens".)
