PLEASE HELP STOP THE “MADE IN AMERICA” TAX!
The Trump administration is flailing new Section 301 Retaliatory Tariffs on imported goods - including baking supplies, fabrics, craft items, magnifying glasses, beads, glue, yarn, paper, and many other components - often used by millions of Americans in churches, schools, charity organizations, and small businesses across the country.
Despite immeasurably mounting evidence that raising tax rates on the wealthy would actually do a whole lot for the US economy, including funding infrastructure, social services, and potentially even encouraging more companies to keep jobs on American shores, the Trump administration has decided to attack the smallest group of Americans possible in a bid to keep the absolutely pathetic Trump trade war with China relevant. You can find information abuot hearings related to these tariffs here. You might observe solutions to Section 301′s revisions Here related to having items removed from the list of tariffs.
Prices on Craft Goods in the US are about to be raised as much as 25% - Hurting small businesses and Non-Profit Organizations.
Why should we care? Because this flagrant price inflation directly affects not only our communities, but the independent creators that we all know and love. Sites that are likely going to see the biggest impacts are likely going to be Etsy, Storenvy, Tictail, Society6, Shopify, eBay, and local Maker Faires.
