All these people again getting excited about what... a way to increase taxes while at the same time preserving the aluminum industry in the USA... all by my paying $0.004 per aluminum can.
In 2001, Americans bought 351 aluminum beverage cans per person, twice as many as in 1980.
Facts
a 10% tax on aluminum would cost $347.7 million tax on beverages served in cans

Divide 80.7 billion cans into $347.7 million is $0.004 per can... I can afford that to save the aluminum industry!
Since you and of course this ignorant president doesn’t know a damn thing about history...
you’re missing one of the causes of the Great Depression which was the same type of tariff policy dipshit is going to put on.
Most of scumbag’s advisors are totally against it. Of course he’s never listen to experienced voices, he thinks his lack of experience and ignorance knows better.
This moron president continues to ruin this country every single day.
So you have NO problem with a tariff on American goods shipped overseas but when steel/aluminum,etc. by a foreign country but when it comes from foreign countries there are no tariffs that's OK? Do you understand that?
A
Jeep Wrangler can cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is a descendant of the jeeps that were used by American forces in World War II. Equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, the Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle that is made in another country and brought to China’s shores.
China’s Taxes on Imported Cars Feed Trade Tensions With U.S.
Do you understand? A car manufactured in the USA cost nearly double due to China's tax on automobile imports from the USA.
Or solar panels.
On Monday afternoon, the US Trade Representative, the agency that oversees the country’s trade policy, announced that the US is imposing
30 percent tariffs, or border taxes, on imported solar panels. Since most of the solar panels in the US
come from China —
the world’s leader in solar power production — the move is a pointed jab at Beijing.
Donald Trump has finally dealt his first blow to China’s economy
NOW guess what the tax on solar panels built in the USA will cost? ZERO! ZILCH! NADA!
Do you comprehend what has happened in the past?
Naturally with slave labor, steel plants, NO UNIONS!!! What f...k do you think happens then to solar panel builders here in the USA do?
Go out of business! Dummies like you et.al. really never comprehended that the USA with NAFTA etc, was destroying the USA economy while building China,et.al.!
