The Turd chickens are coming home to roost. That link knocked my socks off especially when I think about how these pricing increases (taxes) are going to "ripple" throughout the American consumer economy. Just remember to thank every Republican asshole who voted for this Turd caused economic Recession.

Suddenly they're OK with exorbitant taxes, as long as they're not called taxes, and the money goes to the wealthy rather than poor, as we all* know it will.








* meaning non-MAGAts, obviously.

have much of a reason to pay them, sadly enough. We're all just paying for the government to defund services and fire people without end rather than actually provide the fucking services they're supposed to.

Which is it, you pieces of shit? Is paying taxes patriotic, or would you rather have austerity? They're fucking delusional.

(And HERE'S an oldie but goodie, from waaaaaaaaaaay back in our history... and resurrected in this NEW DARK AGE of Trump:

"TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IS TYRANNY!"


"Tariffs" are nothing but TAXES PAID by the CONSUMER. PERIOD.
