Our reading
The Liberty Justice Center is offering to sue the government on behalf of small businesses to get them tariff refunds, which is a service that sounds like it should be free but isn’t. The group is covering legal fees, which is a rare kindness in a system where even getting your money back requires a lawyer.
It’s like a legal version of a charity that helps people get their money back from a scam, except the scam is the government itself. The irony is that the government lost the case, but still makes businesses jump through hoops to get their own money.
So, the next time you hear about a non-profit doing good, remember: they might just be helping you get your money back from the government, which is a service that should have been free all along.
