I do feel like for us middle class citizens, things have definitely become more challenging and definitely declined.
Tariffs are an interesting challenge.
I'm typically not in favor of anything that would be a tax or a tariff or something like that.
First of all, just in the persona and profile of Sherrod Brown, I mean, he's part of an old school of Democrat that goes back to the early 1990s.
And Brown, in one of his early votes as a House member, voted against NAFTA and just stuck with that old pro-labor skepticism of free trade.
He wrote a book in the early 2000s called Myths of Free Trade.
He's proposed
labeling China as a currency manipulator.
He always supported tariffs on China to protect us from Chinese imports.
It's just who he is.
And then more specifically, tariffs have become a centerpiece of a dispute between him and John Husted.
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled many of the Trump tariffs to be illegal,
And Sherrod Brown is saying, hey, Ohio families paid for those tariffs.
I want to see a $1,300 rebate go to each Ohio family.
And Husted apparently is saying, well, it's businesses that paid the tariffs.
The money should go to businesses.
Well, let's spin back a little bit to the 2024 election.
Tariffs were never very popular in our polling.
They did not get more than 50 percent support.
When you looked at other things Trump was saying, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, that was polling with 75, 80 percent support.
