#TARRIFS are a tax

[izooks]

I’m sure republicans forgot about this.

TRUMP…my policy for everything is to pay it with TARRIFS.

TARRIFS are a tax on the people and if you think otherwise you’re as dumb as the idiot proposing it.

Trump has effectively burdened Americans with a $6 trillion regressive tax hike, veiled under the guise of a tariff policy that many don't seem to understand. These tariffs, now soaring to levels unseen since the disastrous Smoot-Hawley Act of the 1930s, threaten to throttle economic growth just as they did then, prolonging hardship rather than alleviating it.

This reckless economic warfare will drive the country toward recession, at which point the true beneficiaries (read: billionaires and predatory private equity firms) will swoop in like vultures, scavenging distressed assets for pennies on the dollar. It is a cynical, calculated redistribution of wealth, siphoning from the working and middle classes to further entrench our emboldened oligarchy.

All of this has been carried out unilaterally by executive order with no input from Congress, no debate, and no regard for democratic oversight.

Never forget: Trump ran for president to avoid prison and seek revenge. He’s clearly mentally unstable

Trump & his billionaire gang are trying to flush out the weak, sick, elderly & poor. They’re taking away all of the assistance those groups receive so they end up treading water until they tire out & drown. It’s disgusting!

If I'm selling eggs for lets say $4 and you make it so my competitor is now selling eggs for $6 because you placed tariffs on them, I can now raise my prices because the consumer don't have any other choice. Or my competitor goes out of business and now I can price my eggs whatever I please because again, you don't have a choice.

Tariffs are a tax on Americans.

Tariffs are government-imposed inflation on Americans.

Period.
