Sure, but the customer isn’t paying the tariff. The customer is just paying more for a product. The business is paying the tariff.

It’s a “technically correct” thing, sure, but it’s why customers aren’t owed the refund. Businesses can increase prices whenever they want.

That would be fine and dandy if tariffs were only for frivolous purchases. Things you could do without. But they weren't. We were FORCED to pay higher prices for thing we NEED due to companies raising the prices due to illegal Republican tariffs.

We were robbed. Again. Period.

And anyone who was robbed deserves compensation.

You chose to pay it. That’s the opposite of being robbed.

Can't choose to not pay for food or medicine, champ.
