Say it with me: Tariffs. Are. Taxes.
He’s raising your taxes.
aren’t they literally just import taxes?
Worse, it’s taxes on poor people. Rich people don’t buy anything with their money, so they’re spared, but poor people are spending the money on things, and things are imported.
Rich people buy things, but not at the rate that lower income people do. A CEO who makes 1000x as much as you isn’t buying 1000x as many pairs of pants, for instance. This is why sales taxes are considered regressive.
A consumption tax. A tax that hits the pocketbooks of the poorer harder and the wealthy lighter.
“Tariffs. Are. Taxes.”
Tariffs 👏 Are 👏 Taxes 👏
