Which, by my calculation means there should be a duty and or tariff on good 'ole Barbie. I would say a 10% on the $8.00 retail cost would be reasonable. I would also lower the corporate income tax rate for all to almost zero. That would motivate local production.
There you go raising taxes again on the poor American consumer - are you some sort of Communist? :)
Are you advocating tariffs instead of corporate income taxes? The Chinese would likely retaliate in some manner to offset any perceived advantage created by the tariff.
Right, and I don't have to pay tariffs if I don't drink coffee, listen to the Rolling Stones, eat chocolate, play a good guitar, or use any retail computer to post on the freerepublic...
