A 5% import duty would not double the cost of any import. Hyperbole much?
More taxes, 5% here, 5% there, here a 5% there a 5%.
Tell me, where do taxes actually produce anything positive?
Let americans make things and americans will buy them.
Is that hyperbole?
You already have an import duty, its called shipping costs. The problem is not punishing Americans to force them to buy American, its greedy assholes who want 5% here and 5% there, and want to leglislate how much farts per hour you are allowed for methane production.
Its a God gave us freedom thing, and the Feral Goobermint takes it away.
And quit being so freaking obtuse.
