The six-figure club.

Lol...I also wanted better weather so I took a southern run

 

That article is from a month ago, the recently introduced bill doesn't mention any income cap. If this was a settled issue with clearly defined qualifications, it could be argued that spending the time and effort to run a cost/benefit analysis for people in the very narrow border area makes sense. For me, I'd rather just earn as much as I can and not worry about gaming the system to get a government handout.

 

Looks like I'll be about $128k, linehual extra board. The money is nice, nights suck and the boredom is soul crushing. But the money is nice.

 

That makes total sense. Families making less than 100,000 pay relatively little to no income tax. They should definitely benefit from the tariffs. Just more government handouts…. Heaven forbid we do the responsible thing and pay down our debt.

 

I want tariff money too IDC I worked hard too 100k or not

 

When you give things away, it erodes value. When applied to currency, that translates to inflation.

COVID stimulus checks helped set the stage (though not the only driving force) for the very real and painful economic changes we’ve dealt with over the last few years.

When considering that tariffs are never paid by corporations since the cost is cascaded to the consumer/end user, this tariff check nonsense equates to a poorly disguised redistribution of wealth.

Redistribution of wealth is a hallmark of socialism. No thanks. Keep the tariff checks, Mr. Trump. That is of course, if this ever becomes more than just sound-bites to distract from the endless stream of new scandals.
