The 'Retribution' of Small Business. opus 770

20 February 2026 0845 Hours Law, Current Events, Ethics, Finance, Politics
Our government was created with three separate branches,
Which favored more, a fairer life for its citizens.
The addition of tariffs on the world by the executive
Bypassed the required input of congress, to regulate taxes.
Today our conservative high court ruled most were illegal,
Requiring US businesses to be repaid in the billions.
All citizens of every ilk may later feel some improved 'affordability'
And perhaps our executive may benevolently moderate
Its flood of unbalanced executive orders to a reasonable trickle.
