Tariffs ARE Taxes!! We cannot allow DT to control the narrative on this. (lemmynsfw.com)

Trump is intending to turn the tariffs into a sales tax to replace the income tax. This place a monumental amount of the tax load on poor and middle class Americans. The tariffs do not show up on your receipts or your tax return, but it is a huge economic burden nonetheless. If the republicans manage to make a case for getting rid of the income tax, it will be very difficult to reestablish it.

We cannot allow republicans to control the narrative on this. We need to stop talking about tariffs and taxes like they're two separate things. TARIFFS = TAXES. Repeat this over and over again on all media platforms.

What ever happened to Republicans promising to eliminate income tax and replace it with a hefty sales tax? It was all people talked about for a while there.

That's literally what this is

No I mean specifically the Fair Tax Act (had to Google the name). Looks like there's been no movement on it since it was introduced.

Orwellian nonsense.

I mean yeah, I think it's stupid too, but it's important to keep in the loop.
