SHitler's tariffs are a direct wealth transfer from the poor/middle class to the billionaires [View all]

WHO pays tariffs?

YOU do.

Where does the money go?

IT goes into the US Treasury and from there INTO BILLIONAIRE’S POCKETS IN THE FORM OF TAX CUTS for the wealthy.

Why is SHitler doing this to all of us? THAT’S WHY.

It’s a DIRECT TRANSFER OF WEALTH FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS & POOR TO BILLIONAIRES.

A revenue tariff is a type of tariff that is imposed on imported goods with the primary purpose of generating revenue for the government. It is different from a protective tariff, which is designed to protect domestic industries by making imported goods more expensive.

SHitler *claims* his tariffs are intended to bring industries back to the US.

I seriously doubt that. They are intended to make US peons pay for billionaire tax cuts.

This ON TOP of destroying all of our government agencies that serve us, protect our lives, homes & and incomes so the money that funded them can be given to the billionaires, instead.


THE ENTIRE THING IS A MASSIVE HEIST.
