All the states should sue, then kicker us back the amount at tax time.
Except the welfare red states.

WHERE’S THE MONEY LEBOWSKI
Stop filing taxes. Tea party 5.0. Buy tea instead and literally throw it at them. Like physically, with a cannon.
Out of curiosity and totally unrelated, is it even possible to make munitions out of tea? Like, can you compress it into a sphere and fire it from a 17th century cannon, or would you just wind up with a bang and dense mist of tea?
This got me wondering.
Man I wish Mythbusters was still around
I think it would be easier to compress it to the shape of cylinder, not sphere, and technically you can shoot it, but it will will dissembody during the shooting, like projectiles in the shooting, so the tea will travel a cone in space and probably do not much harm because of small weight of the particles.
Sounds like a question for the hydraulic press guy. See if tea compresses.
I think it would, but I also think it may just create a blockage that makes the cannon sort of explode, hurting anyone nearby?
Tea, regardless of how compressed, would be weaker than the wall of the cannon. So it would be a mist of tea leaves.
Just add water.
I would be shocked if someone, probably British, had not fired tea from ship cannon at some point or another during the tea trade
Only do taxes if the government owes YOU money. If you owe them they can fuck right off.
You know, I don’t even care about that. What I do care about is billionaires who have been stealing our wages and wealth for decades. We need a fair living wage, $20/hr at a base minimum ($15/hr in 2015 with inflation is now $20/hr), and it should be more than that.
I’m tired of the oligarchs skimming off our wealth to enrich themselves, leaving most of us barely managing to get by. I’m fucking sick of it.
Refund Trump’s tariff bullshit? Sure, fine, that’s not a bad start, but that’s a drop in the damn bucket.
Oh it’s much worse than the way Newsom sanitizes it here. Trump’s plan is to personally steal billions from us by sending that tariff revenue to his mock UN “Board of Peace” outside US law, which then gives it directly to him.
It also seems that he is pocketing the 1 billion fee people are giving himto join permanently.
General strike on paying your taxes.
Is taxation theft to you?
I applied for a federal job, was given an offer, and had that offer revoked because of Trump’s EO against trans people. This government is actively hostile to my existence and provides me little in return, so yes.
If it’s paying for Nazis to curb stomp citizen’s rights granted by the Constitution, while depriving us of the services our tax dollars pay for, while cutting the taxes of folks who will never want for anything in life‽ Fucking absolutely against them. My tax dollars are not the Nazis slush fund for concentration camps.
The refund isn’t for us. It’s for his buddies that pre purchased the right to collect those refunds with significant windfalls on both sides of the transaction.
Yes but the refund is to the businesses that passed the cost of the tariffs on to the consumers.
It’s actually going to businesses that purchased tarrif refund rights packages from Howard Lutnick (Trump’s commerce secretary) and his sons. No joke, look it up.
And now the businesses get to profit from artificially inflated prices. Isn’t capitalism amazing!
Is this where trickle down economics is supposed to work?
As the companies that receive refunds will pass the money onto the customers who paid them?
If you paid the tarrif directly to the government then you have a chance for a refund. If you paid for higher prices that were passed onto us don’t hold your breath for that refund.
wouldn’t holding your breath that long kill you?
That’s just propaganda by Big Breathing. You have enough oxygen in your body to last you for the rest of your life!
Time for impeachment
ur telling me taxing Switzerland for having a Woman president isn’t a national emergency? Did I mention her voice was bitchy and she was a womans?
Best guess is that some corporations might get a refund since they paid the tariffs and they will pocket the money.
It’s even funnier than that. People connected to Trump bought rights to get refunds from corporation a year ago for cents on the dollar. Not they will make billions.
Hang on, please tell me there should be a /s at the end of your comment
I’ve seen this mentioned a few times on Lemmy but can’t find any articles talking about this. Do you have a source? It sounds very believable, but I want to make sure it’s true before I start telling people.
Specifically the son of Epstein-file regular and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick. The very same commerce secretary who came up with the tariffs to begin with, but it’s completely fine, cause it’s not him doing it, it’s just his son
Refund? Yes, but not only the money, but the job, too.
