“Imposing taxes on consumers is a ‘hostile and political act.’ From a business point of view, it makes sense to let customers know who’s imposing these latest massive tax hikes. That way the customers know who to blame for — and who to hold accountable for — unnecessarily higher prices. Why should tariffs be treated any differently than sales taxes? They’re taxes. You’re paying them. Why are Amazon, Walmart, and likely other businesses running and hiding instead of telling you so? The only explanation that makes sense is fear.” (05/01/25)
