Trump’s Illegal Tariff Taxes Have Spiked Prices on Groceries, Clothes, Cars and More And Have Slowed The Economy and Job Creation to a Halt
Americans Must Get an Immediate Refund on the Illegal Tariff Taxes Trump Imposed on Every American Family
This morning, the conservative-majority Supreme Court struck down Trump’s disastrous tariffs, a direct tax on working families that forced Americans to pay more for groceries, clothes, cars, and electronics. For over a year, Trump charged ordinary people illegal taxes while gaslighting them about his failing economy. Americans paid 95% of Trump’s tariff bill, with families shelling out more than a $1,000 extra last year for basic necessities. Now that the Supreme Court rightfully ruled Trump’s tariff taxes illegal, when can working families expect refunds for the money Trump illegally took from their paychecks? The American people need answers, and they need their money back.
