Americans are presently paying 90% of the tariffs put up by Trump. That is an additional $1,000 per year, per household

[Luckyone]

We were talking about Covid.

Okay then, explain what "obesity" has to do with Trump's handling of the Covid virus!

Are you saying that because Trump is fat, that is the reason he did such a bad job with the Virus?

Americans are presently paying 90% of the tariffs put up by Trump. That is an additional $1,000 per year per household​

New Fed report on Trump’s tariffs confirms what most economists warned about​

This has been proved by a recent research by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. "Nearly 90% of the economic burden is borne by American businesses and consumers

Research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation indicates that tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, including those on China, the EU, Mexico, and Canada, cost the average U.S. household approximately $1,000 in 2025. This amount is projected to rise to $1,300 per household in 2026 if existing tariffs remain in place, with the costs primarily passed on to American consumers and businesses rather than foreign exporters.

and Trump announced this week that more tariffs are coming

And he's still lying about who pays the tariff. Tariffs are paid by the IMPORTING COMPANY at the Port of Entry before the shipment can be released.

Regardless, this info will be called "fake news".

I wouldn't have an issue with this outside of a few things. A tax is a tax is a tax. We are nearly $40 trillion in debt and one way you address that is taxes.

Now if it was combined with addressing the debt spending it would be good. Too bad the debt spending will never end.

Also this affects the poor far more than those who have benefitted from the debt the most.

Not all taxes are equal.

Any nonprogressive tax transfers the tax burden more to lower earners.

Unacceptable, in a society with such an embarrassingly large wealth and income gap.

We would decrease the debt by paying living wages. That would increase tax revenue and reduce the need for public assistance.

Then, of course, it's all a LIE.

American consumers are paying an additional tax, the trump tariffs.
And apparently ThisIsMe believes this is somehow winning.

We have no proof that "your tax returned doubled."

And if this is true ^^^^^^ where is this money coming from?

Trump is just shifting money while claiming greatness, and you clowns swallow it up, when in FACT we aren't paying down the National Debt and Prices are up because of tariffs.

The National Debt is increasing at a unprecedented rate, AND you are paying more because of tariffs.

So much winning........ I think NOT.

Forget the political party propaganda, Ask Any one living on less than 75 thousand dollars a year,
IF they are paying more & getting less. There in, is your answer.

For years Democrats have begged for higher taxes, they told us that higher taxes levied on the people means more revenue in the general fund/treasury which means more free shit for the degenerates among us.
If what they say is true then why aren’t they embracing and encouraging the use of tariffs?

 

[my2¢]

Tariffs are a tax on American business. With the Consumer Price Index holding relatively steady since June 2024, I'm not pointing a finger towards tariffs in that regard. The number of corporate bankruptcies in 2025 however were the highest since 2010 which suggests more of a connection there.

What a stupid question. Higher taxes makes the people that have more money contribute more to the nation. Higher rariffs takes away from the poor and contributes more money to the rich, thus making the problem worse and not better

He ABSOLUTELY did. Not an an opinion but a PROVEN fact

WTF? Tariffs are a consumption tax….don’t those terrible rich people consume more?

It not the opposition to taxes, it’s the lies told about what tariffs really are.

What bothers me the most is that people on the right despised taxes, but now that trump is imposing these taxes on American consumers you support the TAX.

WHY?

Explain why the rich ended up paying a larger percent of the total tax revenue AFTER the Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts, stupid.

Trump is getting trade deals renegotiated so all these countries aren’t ******* the US in tariffs, Stupid.

Oh, and inflation is down to 2.4%

It is the left who continue to pretend to be confused. Tariffs are exactly what they’ve always been. A tax imposed on goods with the intent to discourage consumers from buying said goods. Damn, this shit isn’t complex. If you don’t want to pay tariffs then buy goods without high tariffs levied on them. Simple shit.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You had no problem when Biden raised costs per household by $10,000 per year…

I dont buy into your cult fantasies, sorry.

 

[Luckyone]

I suggest you do some research

Higher tariffs generally do not specifically benefit the rich directly through consumption but can favor them by enabling tax cuts, reducing foreign competition for specific domestic industries, and serving as a regressive tax that disproportionately burdens lower-income households. While tariffs aim to boost domestic manufacturing, they often increase consumer costs, which impacts lower-income households more than the wealthy, who save more and spend less on taxed goods.

Is buying from slavers your answer then?

No, it's the billionaires who control our government's answer for us.

Inflation falling 20% since Tater left office proves your link is shit, Dumbass.

What do you think 12 million more illiterate thirdworlders, $6 fuel, 19% inflation and 7.75% interest rates amounted to annually for productive Americans?

It’s not that simple
You know and understand that many products are mixed with foreign and domestic components

For example…… give us an example of an item that we might buy.

1) Brand name of the item with no tariff
2) Brand name of similar item with a tariff.

If it’s that simple, then tell us that item(s).

Dole pineapples. Produced in Hawaii. No tarriff.
