winning issue for democrats? a check for everyone to refund donnie's illegal tariffs. [View all]

[unblock]

end his tariff nonsense and return to the baseline tariffs. figure out how much tariff revenue was collected above the previous baseline and refund the excess.

over the course of 4 years it may be something like $2,000 per person (if it's $175 billion per year, that's $700 billion over 4 years, figure 350 million americans, that's $2,000 per person).

That's $8,000 for a family of 4.

when critics and the media say where will the money come from to pay for it, just say it's already in the u.s. treasury, donnie already took it from your pockets. everybody paid. even those who only bought domestic products paid more because their competition was priced out or even eliminated.

as for details, let's say it phases out at an adjusted gross income over a certain level, eventually reduced to zero. No checks for billionaires, more for the people who need it and suffered the most under donnie's reign of error.


if there's a way to further adjust it punish magats, so much the better. maybe the amount is adjusted for cost of living so those in big cities get more.


i think the amounts involved will be big enough that with could really be a good issue for us.

again, if they ask where the money comes from, in addition to noting it's already been collected, it's also an excuse to go on a righteous rant about how republicans never pay for anything, always balloon the deficit, and how the media is always biased in their coverage of tax and budget matters.
