Government don't pay tariffs. If a government tariffs another country, the government's own citizens pay the tariffs.

@BohemianBabe and 15 % isn’t a lot that’s like 20 a month
BohemianBabe · M
@Monalisasmith86 It would depend on how much you buy. You'd pay a tariff any time you buy something that has a tariff on it. And let's be real, the Republicans aren't going to increase pensions or any other kind of welfare, they want to cut funding to all welfare.

@BohemianBabe no they don’t

@Monalisasmith86 They cut funding to social programs every time they have the presidency, and they just passed a bill that takes people off of food stamps.

@BohemianBabe well those food stamps weren’t helping to the USA economy the us was just using their own money to pay for it

@Monalisasmith86 That's how social programs work, they're paid for with taxes. We should be raising taxes on the rich, not using tariffs that will only hurt the working-class.

@BohemianBabe no
Monalisasmith86 · 41-45, F
@BohemianBabe you’re rich do you want to pay taxes now do you ? Huh
BohemianBabe · M
@Monalisasmith86 Yes, I'm willing to pay more taxes in both of my countries so the people there can have free healthcare and universal basic income.
Monalisasmith86 · 41-45, F
@BohemianBabe I don’t think any government will I don’t think they want to pay taxes
BohemianBabe · M
@Monalisasmith86 That's why we have to force them. The government also didn't want people to have the weekend or unions.

@BohemianBabe ok if you’re willing to pay for taxes
