yes. you are getting taxed no matter what. it is fucking immaterial how you choose to conceptualize the act of giving money to the government. it's going to happen no matter what. my point here is that trump is manipulating you. there is precisely zero chance that we move back to a tariff-based system. it's never going to happen because it would require a fucking constitutional amendment. trump might not know this because he's an idiot, but you as a voter have no excuse.  unless you're a retard, i guess.
