Charlie Kirk Show admits consumers getting 'screwed' by non-refunded Trump tariffs
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Following a Supreme Court decision on tariffs, Andrew Kolvet, co-host of The Charlie Kirk show, admitted that consumers would get "screwed" because President Donald Trump had no intention of refunding the effective taxes paid due to his illegal policies.During Friday's edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, Kolvet argued that consumers paid only 20% of the cost of Trump's tariffs, even though The Wall Street Journal found it was at least 90%."But if, let's assume that they were right about that," Kolvet said, "then Americans are basically going to get double tax because of this court decision, which is hilarious."Co-host Blake Neff read a question from a viewer: "Kathy asked, is the possibility of refunding tariffs to the importers. A lot of them have passed costs onto consumers. Do the consumers get a refund also?""The answer is no!" Neff admitted."Nope!" Kolvet agreed. "We know, it's consumers, the little man gets screwed.""Get hosed," Neff remarked."Listen, you could make the argument that perhaps this was textually the right decision by the letter of the law," Kolvet said. "But it's, there's a measure of insanity to it because you could just ban all the imports. You can't tariff them a single penny!"
