I've seen posts calling for the tariff tax to be listed on the price of retail goods. If it isn't listed and the tariff is just included in the prices, then state and local sales tax will be charged on the total. Isn't that double taxation? Why haven't I heard anything about this? Am I wrong?

For those organizing or participating protests, Saturday, June 14th should be designated "Upside Down Flag Day." Trump has put our country in distress and doesn't deserve a parade. Let's gather and line our streets.

I'm one of the 75 million who didn't sign up for his tariffs so I will "deal with it" by protesting until he's out of office. The 77 mil who did vote for him and the 35% of registered voters who didn't vote have to decide how they're going to deal with it.

Trump says voters unhappy about the economy and his China trade war should deal with it because 'they did sign up for it, actually'
"Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on," Trump said of the "reciprocal" tariffs he imposed.

Trump's state dept is cutting back on its reporting of international human rights abuse. The only reason can be because they plan to commit these abuses themselves. This is where we could be headed.
