  • No average person says “my taxes went up $3000 this year!” referring to anything other than their income tax.

    This is the exact water muddying I mentioned. Call things what they are and explain what they mean.

    There is zero downside to explaining it correctly:

    “Trump’s newest round of tariffs are projected to cost the average citizen $3000 per year”

    Same power without the bullshitting. And you don’t have someone looking at their paycheck wondering if it’s taken effect yet.
