The Yorkist Orphans 

Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury (b. 14 August 1473) and Edward Plantagenet, 17th Earl of Warwick (b. 25 February 1475) were the surviving children of George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence and his wife Isabel Neville, daughter of ‘the Kingmaker’ Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. 

Their mother Isabel, died on 22 December 1476 at the age of 25, of either consumption or childbed fever. In response, their father had two servants killed, who he thought had poisoned her. On 18th February 1478 at the age of 28, their father George, was executed for treason against his own brother, Edward IV  and thus his lands and titles were forfeited. When Henry Tudor succeeded as Henry VII in 1485, he married their cousin Elizabeth of York and they were taken into their care. However, as Plantagenets and of tarnished Yorkist lineage, they were perceived as threats to the Tudor dynasty. In 1499, at the age of 24, Edward was executed for involvement in the plot to escape the Tower of London with Perkin Warbeck, who had impersonated Edward IV’s presumed-dead son Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York. 

Margaret would outlive her mother, father and siblings. She was also one of the few surviving members of the Plantagenet dynasty after the War of the Roses. However, in May 1539, an act of attainder was passed against herfor aiding and abetting her sons Henry and Reginald Pole and having ‘committed and perpetrated diverse and sundry other detestable and abominable treasons’. On 27 May 1541, Margaret, the Plantagenet heiress, was executed at the Tower of London. Just as her father and brother had been before her.

Tariffs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhO4AJ1ZBY 

High tariffs are historically accompanied by extreme wealth gains for the capitalist class

High tariffs may promote the rebirth of domestic manufacturing, but those job/salary gains are offset by an increase in consumer prices

Tariffs artificially inflate the prices of foreign products, and reduce competition for domestic producers, allowing them to jack up prices in turn

Conversely, free trade (ex. NAFTA), destroys domestic manufacturing and enables American companies to offshore manufacturing and pay foreign workers a fraction of what they would have to pay American workers, increasing corporate profits

If Trump was serious about promoting American industry and helping the working class, he would use our tax dollars to fund factory-building, but instead, he wants to cut taxes for the 1%

Trumps wants to use tariffs to fund the gov’t so he can eliminate the progressive income tax

What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.
