Tariffs, Taxes, & Face Eating Leopards

＂Tariffs, Taxes & Face-Eating Leopards＂ delivers a biting critique of modern economic policies, likening the impact of tariffs to predatory leopards feasting on the financial stability of everyday citizens. With sharp wit and sardonic humor, Esme Mees & new author Sandy Khiro expose how tariffs, disguised as tools of national strength, often serve as stealth taxes that burden consumers, crush small businesses, and destabilize industries while leaving the powerful untouched. Paired with classic Esme Mees black-and-white woodcut-style prints of leopards, the book’s visuals amplify its scathing analysis, capturing the relentless and unapologetic nature of policies that prey on the vulnerable. Mees peels back the façade of economic patriotism, revealing the systemic greed and inequality behind the rhetoric. Both a critique and a call to action, this work invites readers to confront the leopards in their midst and reconsider the true costs of policies that claim to protect them. Bold, vivid, and unforgettable, it challenges us to stop feeding the predators and start reclaiming control.
