Making tariffs transparent. A new WI bill would make it clear that tariffs are taxes on US consumers by requiring large retailers to list tariffs on receipts like sales tax.
The same way that the sales tax is disclosed to consumers, the bill would require large retailers to itemize the added cost of tariffs on receipts and invoices.

Christian Zionist beliefs give evangelicals a language to understand foreign policy and their theology is rooted in supremacy, not reality. I write about these and other lessons from my Christian Zionist upbringing for Truthout.
If you’re Trump, supporting Israel is simply good for business, and he can bring his Christian base along by letting the Christian Zionists explain away war, ethnic cleansing, and genocide as spiritual matters.
The Christian Zionist View of Foreign Policy Is Holy War
Christian Zionists see Israel as the focus of US foreign policy — a handy euphemism for US empire.
