Richter ordnet Regierung an, mit der Rückerstattung von Zöllen in Höhe von mehr als 130 Milliarden US-Dollar zu beginnen

What about the $17 trillion he was claiming he’d made?

This is going to be a net loss in the end. trump needs to be removed from office

Keep in mind, this money will be refunded to the *corporations.*

The corporations will:

* get refunds for all the tariffs they paid, whether or not they passed those costs onto consumers. Most companies did.
* continue to keep prices at post-tariff levels. Corporations base pricing on „what the market will bear“, even if by force. People have paid the new price for these goods, which means the market will „bear“ it, regardless of the reason why. Therefore, the new prices stay.
* simply turn those tariff-based increases into corporate profits.

The people:

* watched as the price of essential goods skyrocketed as the tariff costs were passed on to them, either directly or indirectly.
* will receive virtually none of the refunds (outside of maybe a few individuals who file for their own refunds. 99.99% won’t), even though they were the ones that paid for everything in the end.
* will continue to pay the post-tariff prices.

And the reason for this is simple. Technically, the people never paid a dime in tariffs. The people paid for goods at a price set by the corporations, and tariffs are only one of many things that may or may not have factored into the price. Yes, the reality of the situation and common sense tell you that the people are the ones that ultimately paid in the end. But the law doesn’t care about common sense. It cares about legal technicalities. And technically, most people never paid a dime in tariffs. They paid corporations, who paid tariffs.

Regardless, no matter how you slice it, this is essentially going to be an upward transfer of about $130 billion in wealth from the citizens to the corporations based as a result of bad geopolitics and legal technicalities.

To consumers right? /s

We poor normies are going to pay twice for this tarriff shit

So companies that raised prices to pay for tariffs will now get that money back. And they’ll refund the customers for the price hikes? Right?

If the administration appeals to delay payout, what do they hope to gain by waiting?

It’s Judge Reinhold, right?

Wtf?????? So we paid the tariffs and our tax money go to the companies again???? We double paid the tariffs????? How is this even legal?

Winning. Winning so much they’ll ask to stop winning.

ummm someone owes me a couple milly

So they’re “refunding” our tax dollars to corporations who already made killer profits on top of this? This gotta be the biggest heist in American history.

Can we all sue the government in a class action lawsuit for the raised prices we’ve paid due to tariffs?

Wipe the tariff shelf clean.

I figure the tariffs cost me at least a couple thousand dollars in the past year. Where do I send my self addressed stamped envelope for them to put my refund check in?

At least a million of that is mine based on my Amazon spending.

How much of this goes back to the consumers who paid for these tariffs ?

Companies raised prices .. those prices won’t be going down and then they get a stimulus check back

How American

Where’s my refund?

its going to get sent back to the consumer right??

Can’t do it, the money’s in Trump’s Qatari bank account they’re under an Iranian missile attack.

Good luck with that.

Can we sue as a regular citizen for a refund as well? 

It will not go to the people

Spoiler: they will not get their refund without doing something for Trump first.

He could use another gold bar as a gift.
