Tariffs don't work for the people. Once again, big corps benefit while Americans get bent over without lube. These refunds generally go to the importers. The prices jump quick,ly but relief is slow in return. If at all. So for those who defended these tariffs, know that the only ones who benefitted were the corps that raised the prices. That's it. You and I aren't going to see anything. Look at tariffs as a tax that the corps put on the people. they get the revenue, but we get nothing back. I don't mind paying tax to the government, because usually, not always, but usually the public will see a ROI. Infrastructure, military, law enforcement, bridges, schools, etc...The tariffs allow big corps to raise prices...then that is that. We get no ROI. 
Tariff refunds start today—but average consumers won’t benefit
