      The government essentially used its authority to make American citizens pay American corporations more money.

      Think of it as a tax you’re being charged by corporations.

    2. TBH this sums up America almost perfectly

      A nation that is ran for oligarchs, controlled by oligarchs, and for which the system is designed to serve the oligarchs and their respective businesses.

      Reoperations and justice for Amazon and it’s owners, layoffs and higher prices for customers.

      Don’t worry. The admin made sure to make all that money off your back. Be happy that the billionaires stole this much money, think of the trickle down!

      Whatever the Trump administration wants to do, that’s it. Midterm elections, Republicans are going to crush the Democrats and it’s not due to votes. And there will be nothing that can be done.

      Now is the time to stop things, once you’re in the slaughterhouse it’s too late…

      I think we, the American people need to hit the streets and stop working. Imagine if we all just picked a day and didn’t show up to work unless we were made right… wages, retro pay for these tariffs, taxes. Let’s just hit the streets and stop working lol imagine the billion that would be lost. The message that would be sent. #stop working

      Democrats have a good case to demand tariff rebate checks, saying we need this, not increases to the war budget. And that Trump promised it. Make him accountable. Give every citizen $2,000.

      Thems the breaks of the Electoral College and representative democracy. From a economic point of view, the money went somewhere – Government, infrastructure, and/or perhaps other market forces

      Don’t you worry, rich Americans who own the stocks of the companies that will benefit from the illegal tariffs the 🤡 President created will do just fine.

      Congress represents those Americans and could have easily “stopped the steal” and upheld the Constitution.

      But instead the Republicans in charge said “screw my constituents I’m sticking with Trump.”

    10. Trump personally screwed every single one of us to the tune of thousands per person. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have that kind of spare change
