If this is true, then it would cost average consumers much more than the progressive income tax. Think about it-the vast majority of the wealth is owned by just a few people. Those people don’t buy a corresponding amount of stuff. Tariffs get paid by the consumer. www.thetimes.com/us/american-...

This might explain some of Musk’s norm bending behavior. I personally don’t take issue with folks taking hallucinogenic drugs for mental health, but I don’t think much is known about the effects: amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/...
