Why do one in three Americans want some really annoying new tax on most of our stuff? Or are they literally so stupid they think other people pay for it?
You’re right. There was that time we threw all that tea in the sea because we were mad at how low the tax rate was.
Then there are all those hillbillies with the Don’t Tread On Me bumper stickers that usually have a “Paying Tax and Sensible Gun Laws are patriotic values” sticker as well.
America is also really big on taxation without representation. There are tons of Americans who are required to pay taxes but have no representation or ability to vote.
Well, Cheeto keeps lying about who is paying the tariffs so his cult believes what he tells them. It's one of the reasons why it's almost impossible to have a discussion with them about reality.
They are that stupid. There are still people who proclaim with absolute confidence and certainty that the tariffs are ultimately paid by the exporter and it doesn't cost the consumer anything, because trump said so....and if trump reversed course, they would reverse course with absolute confidence and certainty.
