White House slams Amazon over plans to show US tariffs in prices


Recommended Posts

The White House expressed sharp criticism of online trader Amazon on Tuesday for plans to show the contribution of US-imposed tariffs when displaying its prices.

"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Asked whether Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was still a supporter of the president, Leavitt said she would not comment on relations between the two men, but repeated that Amazon's decision was hostile and politically motivated.

I think it's a good idea.  Show people how much it is costing them for not buying USA.  Now, and in the past.   Also explains why their salaries are so low, by how they allowed most of the manufacturing to be taken out of the country.  Lots of the USA 'brands', aren't even owned by US companies, and been sold long ago.

 

 

Just show how stupid they been over the past decades, since the 70s.

 

Som nam naa  ... now you're truly paying for your ignorance & stupidity.  Next time you vote, you might actually research what career criminal ... oops, politician, that you're voting for.

I thought it was usual for displayed prices in the US not to include sales tax, and resulting in sticker shock at the till.

 

Its a tax. Don't worry, if you buy fake Scotch Whiskey, fake Waygu Beef Steaks, Missouri Champagne, the fake Ferrari kit car,  its tax tariff free.

 

No taxation without representation was how the United States started off. This is effectively a consumption tax, not pay for reinvigorated public services, but to transfer national wealth from the pocket of the working man to international bankers, mostly in Japan, United Kingdom, China, Luxembourg and Canada.

 

Article 1, section 8 gives Congress and only Congress the right to levy taxes.

The Congress shall have the Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises.

I know Lobbying is very different in the US. In England, this practice is known as Cash for Questions.
