Good luck getting your refund if you’re a consumer.

The government should refund the tariff charges through consumer’s taxes. The money shouldn’t go to retailers. We the consumers already paid the retailers.

So, if I get a refund, this proves that I paid the tax, not the foreign country like they said. They were lying the whole time.
Otherwise it would have been called my share of the profits.

It’s going to be another slush funds just like his last PPP loan.

Let me get this right. The government charges companies, who then pass the cost to us and then they get to keep the tariff refunds?
This is America in a nutshell.

When the government pays the companies a tarrif refund, it’s our taxes that pay for that refund.
And they pay that out of debt, sold to China and Japan and others so they can get USD to buy oil. (Petrodollars).
So we pay more taxes to fund the refunds to companies that still overcharge us.
And we pay more taxes to pay the interest on the increased debt.
And we inevitably have our life savings diluted by 2-100x less when the petrodollar fails and oil is sold with other currencies and nobody wants to buy our debt, and the only way we pay it off is printing more USD and have rampant inflation.
That’s why stocks are high. The smart investors know that everything else is going to fail but corps are still the last in control.
We all need to quit following the rules. They are not meant to help us anymore.

How many companies do the Trump family and associates have significant interests in that will receive substantial refunds of money that came from the consumers who purchased the goods? Just funneling money into the wealthiest slices of the pie. Steal from the poor and give to themselves.

They should just send everyone $500 like a stimulus check

This money should be refunded to the people!

That number seems low.

Going to have to get SCOTUS to force price lowering due to companies not sharing those tariff refunds with the consumers who paid for the tariffs in the first place.
And there is no chance that will happen, I was obviously joking, and crying at the same time.

I have an easy solution. Give 1k back to everyone who files taxes.

Business and government screwing the individual? Sounds about right for America.

Crossing my fingers that Costco does the right thing and refunds money to their members.

Prices will never be lowered, and these tariff refunds will never reach the people who actually paid them.

Surely they’ll pass that on to the consumer who was the one actually tariffed, right?
