Trump demands companies pay 10% of Tariff Refund towards his „Presidential Library“ fund.
AI generated picture of library available on demand.
Why give it to companies in the first place? I was expecting a CoVID era type of empowerment that’d be sent based on a family’s earning and average spending
They can demand all they like but unless something directly benefits the billionaire class it isn’t going to be adopted in the current administration.
„oh yeah, totally. We made a thing but no one signed up, so we just kept it all“
If the companies just reduce the prices pre-tariffs, and then reduce a percentage more for a while, then that would be acceptable. The problem is these companies will raise prices now.
There shouldn’t be refunds. Put the funds into social security or something so it at least plants a seed.
Greedy corporations don’t ever reduce profit margins. They only raise them.
Good luck with that.
When the tariffs began, no one was sure what to collect, on what, and where to send it. From the get go, Trump’s tariffs have been exactly the shitshow you would expect.
„Democrats demand“ is getting to be such a tiring statement to read. No matter how batshit insane the GOP gets, the DNC seems utterly incapable of doing anything to prevent or fix it.
Just give it back to Americans as a tax credit. Problem solved.
And if they refuse? The next step is the DNC writing a negative Yelp review. ✊
As an accountant, I can tell you that every single tariff/tax payment was processed using a separate code so it could be easily identifiable from other taxes. It is entirely possible to tell who paid what in tariffs and reverse the process into a refund. Even at the individual customer level.
Don’t let anyone tell you that the money is co-mingled and unidentifiable. It’s common practice to break it out line by line. People CAN be refunded.
„Counter-offer, hear us out – what if we use them for stock buybacks instead?“
I’m still waiting for my $2000 tariff check i was promised, let me check my notes, 5 months ago that we’d get in „two weeks“.
Ya no shit. When the administration set up this fund and method to claim refunds for illegal tariffs why wasn’t an estate calculated on what this tariff crap cost the average American family?
Obama tried this after bailing out the banks in ‘09. The banks gave their executives bonuses instead. I’m sure it’ll work this time tho.
Good luck with that, they already expended that money in AI /s
Politically expedient call, it practically impossible
They won’t.
We want checks in the mail!
