Do Americans not really understand Tariffs and taxes? I see people on social media who keep bragging bout Trump tariffs and how he would federal taxes. Do people not understand first off all what taxes pay for and second of all that we live in a global manufacturing society and how that would be passed on to the consumer? I mean I do understand that the average basic economics class is not taught in school nor can the average college student pass a class for economics but whew lawd the ignorance surrounding these two things isa mazing. Taxes whether we like them or not pays for what makes America a first world country. The government whether we like it or not only functions because of the taxes we pay. The roads, the schools the hospitals, street lights. I mean we could go on and on. Tariffs are always passed on to the consumer therefore causing rises in prices of goods which inflation occurs. Regan started this ignorance and what folks don't understand is Trump wrote a letter to the New York Tines during the Regan years pushing for this mess. What's your take on these two things?
