.....few ship owners fly a US Flag because of taxes and fees.

I think it’s time that the US sends a bill to each of these ship owners for saving their asses!

Each time a ship is saved from incoming missiles, say a Maersk ship, send Maersk and it’s freight insurers a $1,000,000,000.00 invoice. If they don’t pay it, let the missiles find their target “next time”.

Sounds like a fiscally rational plan.
