Of course he would. It would be a massive shift of taxation towards the middle class and especially the lower classes, and on top of that, he personally gets to decide who gets to pay and who doesn’t; how much and when, and especially why or why not.
On top of the continual shift of taxation towards the middle and lower classes we’ve had since Reagan.
The “good old days”the Republicans want to go back to were only good in the sense that the top tax rate was 90% and the rich paid something much closer to their fair share, and the middle class was able to actually have comfortable lives. But they want everyone other than them to be on the brink of economic ruin at all times so that they are more easily controlled.
Absolutely. It’s as if they had declared that life in America was much better in the 50s, and the lesson they learned was that it wasn’t possibly because of the economic policies of the post-war era, but because of the bigotry and racism and xenophobia.
Trump got caught knowing nothing about tariff’s when on a finance news show. Trump said to the interview guy “No! You know nothing about tariff’s!”. Since then he has gone all in on the tariff’s he knows nothing about because he does not want to admit he was a fool.
This is like the $5,000 stimulus checks Elon talked about and that “concept of a plan” from 2016. He knows his base doesn’t want to pay taxes, so if he references the possibility to get rid of them, they will keep holding on and later he can just blame the libs for it never happening.
So it is a tax on the people with out any representation. Seems like there was something like this in the past the North Americans dealt with
Stupidest idiot in the history of stupid. It’s like he learned a new word and it’s stuck in his head and all he can say is tarrif, tarrif, rarifffFfffFffs.
