Sure, but the fact "tax" isn't part of the term, as opposed to "sales tax" or "property tax" or "income tax" I think its use during the campaign mislead the American people. I don't think most people voted for 20% across the board higher taxes on goods and services.
- elmerfud 2y agoI think you're framing this in an "I don't like this candidate" way rather than the electorate en masse is generally pretty ignorant. Each party always talks in terms that will largely be poorly understood by most. The idea of taxing businesses because they don't pay enough or taxing the "rich" because they don't pay enough is simply another way of passing that tax down to those who are consuming these services. You don't raise Walmart's corporate tax rate without Walmart raising prices and affecting everyone who shops there. At least with the tariff there is options.
