Donald Trump’s tariffs amount to a stealth tax on the middle and working classes, wrapped in the language of sovereignty. In practice, it’s upward redistribution and corporate price-gouging, fueling inequality that corrodes stability and erodes democracy.

    The trade wars, crashing economy, and broken foreign relationships are just the unexpected side effects from using tariffs to steal taxes from citizens without understanding their implications.

    It was never about trade relationships, despite what they tell you. With trump, priority number one is ALWAYS about separating others from their money.
