Almost everyone is in favor of the Affordable Care Act, but as soon as they hear “Obamacare” it’s suddenly evil.

Or like how ~~Burger King~~ A&W’s 1/3 pound burger never took off because Americans are too stupid to realize 1/3 is a bigger number than 1/4 so they go to McDonald’s instead.

Maybe americans should start calling these "Trump Tax"

I've been trying to call them import taxes because more people should. It simplifies the explanation of what teriffs are greatly

I bet a coworker that the words "tariff" and "tax" are synonyms. Fucker refused to pay even after we looked it up - called Thesaurus.com "fake news".
