Trump says a tariff dividend of 'at least' $2,000 will be paid to most Americans

[LeftofLeft]

It's not gonna happen anyway. The money isn't really there.

Democrats and Liberals are whores anyway when it comes to taking money from the taxpayer. Even John Kerry as a Massachusetts Senator donated $0 back to the Massachusetts Commonwealth Fund..

 

[Crepitus]

The tariffs have been taking in money. Your statement isnt true.

See post #19

 

[Crepitus]

I wonder what the projected tariff take will be for 2026 if SCOTUS does not **** it up?

Less. He's reduced some of the largest ones already.

 

[initforme]

Perhaps 2000 per person covers the aca subsidies gap?

Trump says a tariff dividend of 'at least' $2,000 will be paid to most Americans

In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said the payments would be for all but "high income people."

• The president also called critics of tariffs "fools" and said the US was taking in "trillions of dollars."

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced that a dividend payment of "at least" $2,000 would be paid to most Americans from US tariff revenues.

In a post on Truth Social, he wrote: "We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion."

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."

Gonna have to go with "not sure this is a good idea".....It should only be given out to taxpayers.

If deadbeats are gonna get it then I say use it to help pay down the National Debt.

You don't have to worry. You remember whom is promising this?

Taco, taco, man...

Totally against it, just as I was against the Covid gifting that most people did not need at all.
Take that money and lock it in Social Security coffers etc. Which even that is problematic, because the next Democrat president would give it all to illegal immigrants.

Social security coffers are required to be emptied by treasury. Do you really not know how it works?

If a dividend is issued it should be based on the amount of federal taxes a recipient has paid in federal taxes.

Much like how Virginia returns excess taxes to it's taxpayers.

If you have not paid in, then you get nothing.

No free stuff for them.

Is that 2000 per adult or just household? This is the first ive heard of it

Treasury too, I bet.

 

[cnm]

This is pure fantasy.

$2000 for each taxpaying adult, of which there are some 160ish million, would be approximately $320 billion.

Total tariff revenues for fiscal 2025 were around $175 billion. Which he has, BTW already promised to use to bail out farmers and various other things.

That math doesn't math.

This is just bullshit to make him look good for a minute or two.

More red meat tossed to the crowd as distraction. Look at how they're loving it.

EVERYONE, is paying the tariff, period! In the price of their goods....there is no one that isn't... If they buy food....if they buy clothes...if they buy shoes...if they buy a phone, if they buy Christmas gifts, if they buy a car....if they buy coffee, if they go out to eat, if they buy envelopes, if they buy medicines etc etc etc....and the American importer might pay some...if he doesn't pass on all of the tariff....

There is no one in a foreign country we import from that can be taxed with tariffs....we legally can't tax another country and force them to pay us....we can only make Americans pay the tariff taxes....and anyone else visiting the USA.

THIS is a BIG GOVERNMENT ploy....a BIG BUREAUCRACY build up....making us pay the tariff only to then return some of it, so they can legislate it to their favorites....how about we don't get a tax increase at all...no taxation without representation!

Trump Tariffs are not going to be legal...they are unconstitutional as they sit....and the Trump team knows it, that argued it in court.

This is just Trump trying to sweeten Trumper support or make him look better somehow in his head, when he loses this SC case.

The tariff take should reduce if they're working.

 

[Votto]

What’s the threshold for “high income people”?

I believe you will have to refer to the IRS tax brackets where a line is drawn between hard working class and evil doers.

Democrats always claim how unfair it is for people who paid $0 taxes don’t get a tax rebate.

 

[task0778]

I hate to be the turd in the pool, but free money was what got the democrats in trouble when inflation went up. And I have a tough time believing the tariff revenues will pay for a $2000 dividend to most Americans, unless he's borrowing expected future revenues.

Your tail is twisted because the vile dems are not in power to give it to you deadbeats.

 

[my2¢]

Politicians on both sides need to address the national debt before any more government giveaways.

Has CNN or MS-LSD got the vapors over it yet?

So the rich get more money from the working class paying tariffs.? This shit is Kafkaesque.
