So, after tarrifs were declared an illegal tax and the money now needing to be refunded, I guess they’ll just give it to the businesses who will have a nice boon in revenue, won’t reduce the prices, and we all can just eat shit?

My son worked with a young guy whose parents were legal immigrants, and they LOVE Trump unconditionally.
During his first term, when he sent out Covid checks, he insisted the checks have his signature on them. My son’s friend’s parents literally thought that Trump sent them that money out of his own bank account. They were so grateful that he was sacrificing his own fortune to save America. I would have thought that was ridiculous, but Trump knew that many people would respond that way to his signature on that check. Mine was direct deposited so I never fell for it (yeah, that’s why).
So now that his approvals are plunging by the week, he is is desperate to bribe people into loving him again. I’ll gladly take his money, laugh in his face, and continue to despise him as much as ever.
Every immigrant is a legal immigrant. People can’t be illegal
Valid. They were documented.
This is the way.
but it’s our money, not his … taxes?
Yeah definitely more of a get my money back scenario
If I was rich, I’d give the money to my favorite Socialist candidates, but I can always use a couple grand to remain alive.
That’s why our wages have been so stagnant for so long.
The employers take the money they would have given you in wage increases, keep a big chunk of it for the shareholders, but use some of it to bribe politicians into keeping wages low. Do that a few times and you have a “strong” ecconomy to attract foreign investors, which will drive up your share peices even more. On top of that, there is no counter force that can afford to counter-bribe the politicians. That ultimately becomes a feedback loop, which is how and why we’re in this position now.
The politicians don’t work for us, they work for the donors.
It was always your money my friend. The disposition that you are “taking” something from someone, when it belongs to you in the first place is… baffling to me.
I understand, thanks for the explanation like I’m 5.
I used the word “Him” because he’s making it happen, nobody else wants or is asking for this, so I referred to it rhetorically as “his” money. You shouldn’t be baffled by literary license, just go with it.
“Take the money” should have been the phrase.
