Seems like the majority on this forum have some kind of govt income beyond the mandatory Social Security and Medicare. Those that don't have incomes that come from the creation of wealth would be opposed to tariffs that reduce their guaranteed income buying power.

What is "incomes that come from the creation of wealth"?
What is "guaranteed income buying power"?
:h

Did you know that there are a few people that actually use their own two hands to make things, thus creating wealth?

Do you know people that get a pension, never created wealth and may only care about their own purchasing power regardless where that wealth was created?

Millions of pensioners are retired autoworkers, steelworkers, teachers and the like. Others are first responders who create a safe environment for society. Are you going to argue that a paramedic who saves the life of one of those people who "use their own two hands to make things" didn't contribute to the wealth you claim only they can create? You are just going to dismiss the education that handworker received that allowed them to learn their craft as not valuable?
We may very well joke about the value of the contribution of professions like lawyers, DMV employees and so on, but they are actually a necessary part of any economy. I would venture to say that virtually anyone who is or was employed has contributed to the wealth of the country. You don't have to personally build widgets to be a contributor.
