    so money from tariffs, which the citizens pay? sounds like raising taxes with extra steps.

      Everyone know that when you go to Starbucks, the price is $5.99, and then “they” pay the sales tax. The price to you as an American is $5.99.

      …sorry, what’s that? The person that buys and received the goods pays the tax? Well. That’s some bullshit.

      I’m pretty sure a lot of americans have no clue about USA wanting to tariff Canada/Mexico, and also that a lot of them think that it’s Canada/Mexico that will pay for those tariffs, somehow, but not them.

    I can tell you this much, as a Canadian I refuse to pay for your American billionaire tax cuts.

        Yeah but even buying American shit goes into their pockets.

        I dont care how small the company is, I will not buy US products at this point and thats very much the zeitgeist up here. People are avoiding as many US products as they can.

        Fuck the US at this point. You fuckers allowed this to happen. You suffering from bad decisions is one thing but your global hissy fit is hurting everyone.

      That’s fine because they’re not proposing any! These are all taxes on Americans!

    If you are losing your hair or need to increase your penis size you need to take advantage of tariffs.
