The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Let's dissect: tariffs, like other regressive taxes, take the most from the Proles. So take a bit of the tariff revenue and give it to a favored sub-group of Proles, farmers, while the bulk of the loot is redirected to the "JCs". ~Steve

You nailed it Steve!

Here's what happened last time:
"Trump's farm bailout gave the top 1% nearly one-fourth of the aid"
"The top 25 recipients of aid in 2019 received an average of $1.5 million per farm."
"The wealthiest farms should not be getting most of the money, because they have large assets to fall back on in times of trouble.
We're at a time when so many Americans have lost their jobs, are struggling to put food on the table or keep their businesses open,
it makes you wonder why so much money is going to farmers, especially the largest, wealthiest farmers."

MAGA = Work Harder, Support The Rich!
