🚨 Trump illegally taxed working families for over a year. The Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional. $166 billion [View all]




🚨 Trump illegally taxed working families for over a year.

The Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional. $166 billion is being refunded right now.

But here’s the part no one is talking about.

The refunds are going to the importers. Not to you. Not to the families who paid $1,751 more on groceries, on clothes, on car parts, on everything.

330,000 corporations are getting checks. 53 million shipments are being refunded with interest. You paid the tax. They’re getting the money. Trump said he’d “fight” giving any of it back to families.

His own words.

Newsom is right. Pay the people. $1,751 per household. Every dollar.

What’s the point of a court ruling something illegal if the people who actually paid never get their money back?
