Merriam-Webster: "The meaning of TARIFF is a schedule of duties imposed by a government on imported or in some countries exported goods."

Apparently the dictionary is "woke."

Wikipedia: "A tariff, or import tax, is a duty imposed by a national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer."

Oxford Economics: "Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other countries."



I know what tariff means, I just think many people don't realize it means "taxing US citizens" and not "sticking it to some country we don't like"


Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you didn't know.

I meant, "Yes, you're so damned right! It's even in the dictionary! I wish people would educate themselves and not believe lies!"
