“Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits,” he said. “It’s one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and the Senate, $5,000 to every adult. And we can do it and the Democrats can’t, because the Democrats don’t have any income, and they’re gonna drive us in[to] a depression. They won’t have any money.”
Bitch you already promised us a tariff refund check.
Since the tariffs are a tax on American people purchasing things, and since rich people purchase more things, and the promise is to pay every person the same amount, this is classic socialist wealth redistribution.
I mean, it would be, if it ever came to pass.
But it’s a charade when the 1% are getting massive tax cuts at the same time. Still a net loss to the 99% getting checks, but WEEE $5000! 🙄
