 Tariffs are not paid for by us.

It is a fee for importation of goods into a country. 
So say China stops importing sweatpants after having a tariff placed on them....
We'll get back to "proudly made in america" for w/e good they stop shipping here...

Oh no, company XYZ will have to pay more for having their business outside the USA and goods imported. Boo hoo! You don't need 85% of the junk on Amazon anyways!


 
 You know who **ALWAYS** end up paying for the tariffs?

The Lower and Middle Class! The companies push the costs back onto the consumer.
This is basic economics.

I’ve owned multiple businesses. Many in the #USA don’t want to pay a fair price for goods made here. They live in willful ignorance about exploitation of humans. 

Kindly: don’t speak to me about #MadeInAmerica when I’ve been fighting for #humanity lifelong. 🫂🫡🌎 
 Aka the idiots using money for garbage they dont need! Let them pay for it!

Slavery wasn't abolished, money was just put in the middle to allow people to make dumb choices and they called it "freedom". 🤙 
 My mission goes on to get 99% to demand the 1% pay their fair share for living on #Earth 

It’s not about #taxes FAR deeper. They will be held accountable.
