The dollars and cents of tariffs.

[Marener]

They can be calculated, and while not directly on products they contribute to the cost just as tariffs do.

And have in the past.

Not on a per-item basis like with tariffs. It would all be imputed. Tariffs are actual costs on actual items.

 

[Marener]

Don't you mean Bezos plans on giving Democrats free political advertisement?

If you want to piss off more than half of America......I say knock yourself out.

So you think half of America is going to be pissed that they're told how much tariffs are costing them?

Why would they be upset at having more knowledge?

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Amazon should also include the cost of federal corporate taxes, social security taxes, local corporate taxes, and all the hidden taxes and fees found in utilities like power, gas and phones.

local sales taxes are already listed, so don't need to ask for those, just add them to the total.

You would really wake people up to the cut government takes on any purchase.

Perfect, only the lefywinging idiot's believe that corporations actually pay taxes instead of just adding it to the cost of their goods and services.

For the regime, the truth is a "political and hostile" act.

It will be a stark reminder of how much shit from China Bezos sells.

As opposed to trump's idiocy believing foreign countries end up paying for tariffs, not consumers.

Splitting hairs because you know if all those costs were shown the amount going to the government on every purchase piss people off.

Just check your electric, gas and phone bill to see how many fees and surcharges are there, all going to the government piggybank.

total paid for each fee or surcharge over a year divided by total sales per year gives you cost per dollar of sales.

Who believes you? The greatest lies in human history occurred with the last administration. People suffered for what the Prog party caused, and they did nothing. They do not even admit any guilt.

No one believes that you moron. The problem is that the US is getting screwed over by other countries when it comes to tariffs.

Is Trump right when he says the US faces unfair trade?

He wants to hit back at countries that place import taxes on American goods that he thinks are too high.

Not sure it's going to piss people off as much as you think .In 2022, Amazon paid $2 billion federal income tax. It was $6 billion if you include federal employment taxes.

That's on $500 billion in revenues. I'm not sure 1% is going to piss people off as much as the 100% from tariffs.

Again, add in all the fees on power, utilities and state sales taxes.

We are about to experience the full force of Dotard's reckless idiocy.

Frankly this is even better. Customers can see which products are made locally.

Sales taxes are already clearly indicated when you check out. You really think the fees for utilities are going to add up to anything significant in comparison to their half a trillion in revenue?

Sorry this little gotcha didn't work out like you expected. You should have done the math before making yourself look stupid.

Sales, not revenue.

It all adds up.

And tariffs can go away if the other countries play ball, things like these fees and surcharges only go up year after year after year.

 

[Dragonlady]

Lol you just being a binary partisan is the most logical.

No, that's exactly what happened.

The law firms that cut deals with him have seen an exodus of partners and staffers. This is the time of year when young lawyers are jostling for articling jobs at these big Washington law firms, and these firms are having difficulty recruiting both staff and lawyers, because of their capitulation.

Trump is whining that Amazon is doing this for politics, and that they didn't do this with Biden's Chinese tariffs, or those in his first term. Amazon doesn't sell solar cells, rare minerals, or electric vehicles, which is what Biden put tariff's on. The first term Trump tariffs didn't affect purchases under $800, and didn't affect prices much.

150% tariffs are having a HUGE impact on consumer prices, and having that tax on ALL goods shipping from China, left Amazon with no choice but to tell customers how much of the price increases are being caused by tariffs. This is not price gouging.

State sales taxes are needed for roads and other services people need. A very small price to pay. Fees on power and utilities are also minute.

 

[Man With A Plan]

The economy was "broke" under Biden?

Our economy was the envy of the world. It was roaring.

Now the world thinks we have lost our collective minds, but half of the country is not complicit and is held hostage to the delusion of Donald Trump. The other half just doesn't know any better, but they will.

Danny, if our economy was "roaring" then Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would be our President right now! It wasn't and that's the reason that Donald Trump IS our President! The inflation that you progressives saddled the average American with cost them huge amounts of money out of pocket...money that they will never be getting back. YOU did that and then you told them that they were doing great! They knew better and voted you out.
