Here's the rub: the whole "idea" is to spur American manufacturing to be done domestically. Cool. But when you raise prices by a fuck ton, American manufacturers (when the get it together some years down the line because factories don't spring up overnight), they're just going to price their goods slightly cheaper than their imported counterpart's current market price, not significantly cheaper to help Americans. American companies, especially conglomerates, have proven time and again they'll fleece us dry to make the line go up. That is all a sham.
