... and now corporate partners have raised food prices on everyone.

The removal of tariffs should allow these corporations to lower their prices but they won't ... because those prices have now been normalized and will never go down. The corporations will take the savings and keep prices high.

That was the reason for the original tariffs ... that was the reason for removing them.

They gave corporations tax breaks to save them money ... then gave them an excuse to raise prices and funnel even more money into their pockets.

They're Making American Great Again ... for a very small group of really wealthy Americans

Also, don't forget that IF the courts deem all these tariffs void and they have to be paid back, guess who gets the payments.

Hint, not us.

Sounds like the system is working as intended. In America, money votes!

Money has more rights than people

It's a Plutocracy .... a government run by the wealthy or those with money

rather than

A Democracy ... a government run by the people

Now that tariffs are removed we get the opportunity to implement new tariffs that will raise prices even more

Sawing off the branch their prosperity is built on. Hoping, perhaps not incorrectly, that they'll be dead before we all hit the fucking ground.
