If your time is short
Virtually all economists, citing years of data and analysis, characterize tariffs as tax hikes rather than tax cuts, because much of the additional cost of the tariff is passed on to consumers through higher prices.
Several economists we interviewed said that it’s possible to argue that the added revenue to the treasury from raising tariffs could allow the government to lower taxes. However, analyses show that it’s unlikely even high tariffs could generate enough revenue to permit meaningful tax reductions for typical Americans.

No worries! You’re not loosing your job! This is your tax cuts at work!
Okay, I give up… Yeah, its a layoff…
- Tariffs are a tax cut.
- Trump is the greatest president.
- Republicans are pro-life.
Hmm, what do each of these statements have in common?
On what fucking planet are tariffs a tax cut?
How in the everliving fuck is having to pay more in taxes actually having to pay less in taxes?
It doesn’t matter. The MAGAts believe anything they’re told.
Obligatory Orwell quote
Stalin, Lenin, and Mao among others like Hitler and McCarthy proved the efficacy of the propaganda technique. If you control the message you control the people. A common feature and issue of authoritarian groups.
MAGA logic. Or rather, lack thereof.
