I failed to grasp right away how you, and the federal government, can solve our country's economic ills by raising my taxes, whether on an import I buy or indirectly when the import's domestic competitor raises its own price as a result.*

Wait one minute!

Next you'll claim that a 100% tariff on imported oil will raise the cost of our domestic oil.

Learn some economics, sheesh.

Who buys crude oil by the barrel, anyway? Don’t want to pay the tax, don’t buy oil. Problem solved.
