For years Democrats have begged for higher taxes…if that’s what tariffs are then why all the resistance?

[BrokeLoser]

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

Because "Orange Man Bad TM".

I really do t know what democrats rats want it's impossible to know si cd they don't have any semblance of a plan. On the other hand the other party if they had their wishes would like to cur SS and medicare and want us to believe they hurt our economy and bankrupt the nation ad nauseum. There is no winning here.

Well there you go…more revenue at the treasury = A more robust SS and Medicare…Right?
Why aren’t Democrats championing tariffs?

Because tariffs only raise the prices of certain items, but do not specifically target the wealthy. It’s really all about class warfare and Marxist wealth redistribution to these useful idiots.

Yes, there is. It’s been happening since November. You might be on the losing side if you feel otherwise, tbh.

I. For tariffs if the jobs come back for 5x the wage they are made overseas plus union benefits.

... because the tariffs hurt the working and poor classes.

That will be the the long term effect…but in the short term Libs will get that higher tax they’ve fantasized about for years…right?

Because it's a tax on the working class and not the wealthy, who need to be paying more in taxes.

Duh.

Duh.

But what about fair/equal share?
Won’t this get the noncontributing bottom feeding freeloading parasites in the game and contributing?

Duh.

Gee, who are the wealthy? And if "the wealthy" are buying more, they would be paying more....duh,

They have no incentive if it hurts them.

If the poor and working class don't have any money to spend, they can't be hurt by the tariffs. Trump is lowering the price of gas and energy which is a huge win for the poor and working class. Especially after getting RAPED by Biden and Dems on that the past 4 years.

Taxes are painful for everyone…Nobody feels incentivized to pay more taxes. That’s why no Hollywood Libs voluntarily donate more to the treasury.

Or rich conservatives.

Tariffs are a regressive tax.
