Thankfully, today’s U.S. economy is much larger and more influential than in the 1920s–30s, with different dynamics that don’t favor the rise of Nazism. There are still Nazis in the U.S., but they've likely maxed out their reach.

The felon's spiel about the history of tariffs was distorted and inaccurate. In any event, if he were such a great negotiator, he would have used diplomacy to fix any alleged unfairness in international tariffs. Tariffs are a tax on the middle and working class. So many imports not made in the US.

reply

iawoodchuck.bsky.social•73 days ago

Before 1913, federal government revenues came mainly from taxes on goods—tariffs on imported products and excise taxes on items like whiskey. The burden of these taxes fell heavily on working Americans, who spent a much higher percentage of their income on goods than rich people did.
