[Ads-l] TARIFF - as a new acronym

[Tom Zurinskas]

TARIFF = Tax Anyone (or Americans) Receiving Imports From Foreigners.

>From Google "Tariffs are taxes charged on goods bought from other countries... (US) Companies that bring foreign goods into the US have to pay the tax to the (US) government."

People should realize that a tariff on a country is paid by US taxpayers, NOT that country.  This acronym that occurred to me this morning explains that.  It's a regressive tax that affects poor and rich alike.
