Are tariffs a tax on consumer? Well, my brother got a bill from FedEx for $8 for a product he bought from Amazon, listed as a tariff from Department of Homeland Security for product from overseas. We have been told over and over again that tariffs are not a tax on consumers. How stupid do they think we are?

Let them know your displeasure by writing to your local reps and when you vote next year. Many people will be receiving these bills. Hurry up with that $2,000 tariff refund and we won’t complain..
