Video: Tariffs Cost Us
Sample Share Copy:
Our money doesn’t go far enough as it is. Tariffs are a TAX on imported goods like food, clothes, and electronics. And like most taxes, the costs are passed down to consumers and businesses.
It’s estimated the average American would pay more than $1,700 a year in higher prices. Contact your member of Congress and let them know tariffs will cost American families, workers, and small businesses!
Cars & Auto Parts
Sample Copy:
Why Are Car Prices Going Up?
When the government adds tariffs on cars or auto parts from other countries, it drives up the cost of making and repairing vehicles.
Think buying a car made in the USA means you’re safe from price hikes?
Cars made in the U.S. still rely on parts from around the world: electronics, engines, steel, you name it. Even a small tariff can lead to big price hikes.

Tariffs aren’t just a tax on foreign goods—they’re a tax on YOU.
When the government adds tariffs, businesses raise prices to cover the cost. That means:
🛒 Higher grocery bills
🚗 More expensive cars
📱 Pricier electronics

Tariffs are TAXES
Sample Share Copy:
Tariffs raise costs for businesses and consumers alike. When imports get more expensive, companies pass that extra cost onto YOU in the form of higher prices.
The result? Less purchasing power, fewer jobs, and a weaker economy.
