Donald Trump Is The Biggest Middle Class Tax Raiser Of All Time

[skews13]

Ha ha ha:

President Trump recently announced plans to impose a 10 percent tax on $200 billion of imports from China effective September 24, escalating to 25 percent effective January 1, 2019. When added to tariffs that have already been implemented, total trade taxes imposed on American consumers and businesses via unilateral executive action exceed all the taxes included in President Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA).

That’s from the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, a conservative outfit that favors low taxes and low spending. Their methodology is a little aggressive since they include $60 billion in automobile tariffs that haven’t actually been implemented yet, but then again, Donald Trump keeps yammering about raising car tariffs, so maybe it’s fair after all. When you add it all up, here’s the total in colorful chart form:

They include auto tariffs that haven’t happened yet and probably won’t happen since the EU already agreed to drop their tariffs on US goods including autos.

And yes, you may have to pay a few extra cents or dollars on Chinese trash in the near future. Oh the horror, it will be more beneficial for businesses to manufacture here in the states and not get taxed.

You can't even imagine how the economy is booming as we are no longer taken advantage of.

And this is supposed to be a tax? ROFLMAO!

The OP is stupid enough to believe it.. And that's a sad note..

Somehow it's "horror, horror you have to pay more for healthcare (even though under Bush it rose much more)" but when it's Trump's tariffs it's "Oh well, you have to pay a little more".

Partisan bullshit.
