I guess Amazon almost did a hostile an political act...

For showing the customer which taxes they have to pay to the US governement in tariff-revenue.

Everyone can see the sales taxes on their bills... But I guess showing the tax that the current president is levying on your products is a "hostile act".

Wonder why that is... mmmm what can it be? 🤔

But no worries, your "taxes" will go down... because the big tax on consumers is "regulation", according to David Wessel. The cost of knowing that your products are safe to use, the cost that you pay to have the employees that make your product have a safe work enviorment. That's the real cost on consumers. I wonder when these people are going to cry foul when other countries refuse to import there unregulated food products in other countries?

But for now, know that a business that sells products from all over the world is forbidden to inform it's customers why the price of their commodity went up due to a deliberate tax by the governement. Because informing the public, is a hostile act.

He has such a thin skin. Publishing those figures would be a useful service to the consumer and taxpayer. He needs to accept responsibility for his decisions.

@sunsporter1649 Why not? Taxpayers should be able to see what they are paying.

@sunsporter1649 I wonder why my car insurance company didn’t tell me why my rates skyrocketed ? Some friends tell me it’s to make up for all the uninsured drivers .(robbing Peter to subsidize Paul ).

@AthrillatheHunt In this area other drivers are drunk, armed and uninsured. Carrying uninsured motorist is a necessity.
