    I understand that us regular citizens are being screwed over the tariffs that we’ve paid through our day-to-day purchasing. I’m trying to get momentum to pass a law for the income tax filings next year (too late for this year)that a tariff deduction is provided to every household. I think that’s the only way we’re gonna get any money back.
