1913? Really. How much do you think we traded with foreign nations back then? How are we going to export our products?

Our exports face an array of tariffs from almost every country we deal with. It would be hard for them to raise their import tariffs since they are already so high now.

One example is Taiwan:Duty rates in Taiwan vary from 0% to 30%, with the average duty rate at 6.52%. Some products can be imported free of duty (e.g. books, laptops and other electronic products).

Corn, our country excise taxed enough to pay for 44% of the entire US Government budget.

Do you have another stupid, senseless comment to make or are you done playing the idiot?
