How Come People Understand the Consequence of a Tariff But Not a Tax?

The left rails against them, and Trump haters like to talk about them. Tariffs. "Don't you get it? A tariff doesn't cost the COMPANY anything. It's an added tax on US! They are just going to pass along the cost of the tariffs on to us and prices will go higher." Umm. Yes. That is true. But here's the funny thing. The EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS when you tax a business more. But somehow, through magical forces perhaps, Democrats and the left see that as just "paying their fair share." Somehow, through further magic those businesses just pay the tax and lose money. Huh? Right. Huh is right. Businesses will do the exact same thing with a tax they have to pay as one that has to pay a tarriff. They will pass it along to US. The consumer. If I have said this once, I have said it a million times. A tax on the rich and businesses is a tax WE pay. Every single penny of it. If you raise a company's tax by 25 cents, they will raise the price on what they sell an equal 25 cents. So, the question is, if tariffs are bad and Democrats understand they are, and who pays them ultimately, how come they think a tax on business is good and WON'T work exactly the same way? You see, there are so many examples of illogical thinking when it comes to Democrat thinking it boggles the mind sometimes. It's kind of like raising someone's wages to $20 an hour to slap together a hamburger and then being surprised their hamburger costs $15. A tariff and a tax have the exact same consequence, so why are Democrats against tariffs and FOR higher taxes on businesses? It makes no sense.
