MOAB.  The Mother Of All Bribes.  LOL.

Great news.

 

This  is after he takes $6,000 from all tax filers.

He's just realised his popularity is way down , so offers bribes to the population

to try and regain some love ,that's what America has become ,a corrupt country.

better than nothing.   However he will never please the Trump haters

Is this on top of the 5000- Dodge check?

Not that I'm a US taxpayer, but giving the same amount to all taxpayers is a very socialist policy and should please the Left.  If Trump gave the refund based on the taxpayers actual contribution, the outcome would be vastly different. 

 

From Who Pays Federal Income Taxes? Latest Federal Income Tax Data

• The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97.7 percent of all federal individual income taxes, while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 2.3 percent.

Seems dumb. Why don't they use it to pay down the 36 trillion dollar deficit?  600 bucks nowadays might pay for a couple of dinners and a tank of gas in places like California.

No! You have it wrong. That's Biden and Obama's fault!

Bad means Biden.  Good is Trump.

Great idea! $600 will make me forget all about the Epstein Files. 

Rebate?

 

So they DO understand that it's the American consumer, not the importer, and shirley, not the manufacturing country, paying the tariff taxes!

 

Gosh, a bigly 25% return of the new tariff taxes the average American family pays.  How MAGAnanimous!

 

Oh, the winning never ends.

 

If you drive a car, I'll tariff the street
If you try to sit, I'll tariff your seat
If you get too cold I'll tariff the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tariff your feet

TACO!
Cos I'm the tacoman, yeah I'm the tacoman

Let talk about it like this. If Puea Thai goes out with a hand-out, then most posters here call it a bribe or a way to win popularity. Is it different when Trump does the same?

That´s not what recent popularity figures are telling.

He could invent a cure for cancer and end world poverty, it still would not be enough for any of the haters

Of course it's different.

 

In our case it was OUR money to begin with, tariff taxed by Trump to further his spectacle.

It would be bigly 'safe and effective', sprayed into the lungs, and brought into the body like a UV bulb, somewhere.

popularity figures are as yet irrelevant, and they vary dramatically depending on the source

Didn't think so

pathetic comment

Welcome inflation my old friend......

 

So the source of the funds for this bribe is the tariff income which is paid by US businesses.

 

Trump taxes those businesses through tariffs causing inflation, then gives people that tariff money to spend, which will cause  even more ********.........answers on a postcard.

I assume the Trump haters on here will be refusing the cash then? 😁

That's is what they told me last time but regardless of the hours I spent on the phone, I'm left with checks I can't cash here in Thailand. I followed there directions and filed early as I was told only to be excluded from the debit card that was issued.  Early filers got pater checks.  Told I could just correct it on my next return 12 months later! I filled out the form on my next return and this time I was flat out denied.  Called the IRS and they didn't know why.  Told me basically nothing i could do and they were sorry.  The rep was truly sorry but couldn't help. Oh well, I now have a worthless $2,500 check.

 

That felt good to get off my chest 🙂

Don't call me Shirley

From the linked article...

 

"The proposal comes after President Donald Trump on Friday told reporters he was “thinking about a little rebate” for Americans from tariff revenue."

 

This is a "suggestion" by trump.

 

A suggestion that we stop talking about Epstein and talk about some imaginary rebate.

 

I think Congress needs a 60% majority to pass this sort of legislation, unless they can provide off-setting "savings".

 

 

This is just a Carny Trick to distract/quiet down the Maga mega cultists agitating for the Epstein Files.

Simple majority in both houses.....the money could be paid out before the end of the year if there's a real political will.

 

The 'infrastructure' exists from the Covid boost.
