Where did I say "tax American producers"? I am talking about removing the direct subsidy paid to refiners using ethanol in the mix. That subsidy would get paid whether or not foreign ethanol is used, it doesn't have anything to do with the source of the ethanol. I am also talking about removing import barriers. The retail tax on gasoline could be charged could be calculated in such a way as to not tax the ethanol. (If the gas is 10% ethanol the tax is only .9 what the tax would be otherwise) From what you've told me it is charged this way. Whether or not that charge is changed is a separate issue from the import barriers and the subsidy.
