A typical tourist is allowed about 1500 dollars in goods on the plane coming back into the country. After that I think the tariff is between 8 and 10%. That's the tariff that should be on all goods coming into the country. It is not a killing tariff. My only concern would be that the guv would just blow the money and it would end up being just another tax. We need to get guv spending under control beforehand. Maybe even use the tariff to fatally impale the IRS.

The Vet,

And we think that it is the big capitalist Companies that are out to get us.

Government is here to help. They "Mike Ditka" used to say that George Halas used to throw nickels around like trash can lids, but now Bush is throwing $1000 bills around like feathers. One would think he was a democrat.

It is not just the CEO'S and the CFO'S that are lining their pockets, it is our fair government leaders. Anything to get reelected.

What a sad state of affairs. Does not bode well when everyone has their hand out, and is actually getting it filled.

Terry
