As has been stated many times, red don's tariffs pass taxation from the wealthy to lower income people, who spend a greater percentage of their income. Highly regressive.

This is what having a nation of illiterates re taxation, math, and governance leads to. If the public had understood the mechanics of the situation, red don wouldn't have been able to con enough of them re tariffs.

What a clusterf*ck this nation has devolved into.
