Under MAGA, the GOP is coming full circle on taxation. Here we see celebration of $100.5 billion in new taxes paid by American consumers, in the most regressive possible fashion.

Yeah but it's taxes on ordinary people, not the rich. The Republicans have always been in favor of robbing to poor to give to the rich.

Congratulations Americans!!! You have effectively paid for 1,48% of total state expenses through tariffs.. And you’ve covered 20% or 33% of estimated yearly revenue loss from the big beautiful bill! You must be so proud that poor billionaires are greatest beneficiaries of the big beautiful bill.

I'm pretty sure we all agreed that raising tariffs would bring in more tariff money. Dear God, what a tool!

I did a math - if we’ve paid 100 billion in tariffs already, that’s $850 PER ADULT AMERICAN (18 and over) YTD.

Proudly declaring that working people in the US have paid $100.5B in import taxes illegally imposed upon goods they need by a demented slob POTUS is only a thing in a profoundly ignorant, horrifically ill-informed country. Charlie Kirk is the oily, off putting vanguard of true American Idiocracy.

Charlie Kirk, like trump, never understood or even gave a damn about the concepts of conservatism. They’re both idiotic & ridiculous, child-like frauds who actually are both very ignorant about economics & any thing to do w finance. Their only talents are in grifting other morons like themselves.
