Yes I do not drink cow's milk or even eat bacon (fake or not), BUT I do that for health reasons. I do plan on buying a live Christmas tree but from a local place that actually grows them in my area.
I ALWAYS try to buy American and support my local community when I can. I purchased my whole bed set from a company that hand makes them in Oregon. So does that mean to support American products we should tax them more, even if it a little bit? Increase the tariffs on imported products not American.

It's fifteen freakin' cents per tree. FIFTEEN. Rather than bitching over $0.15, let's talk about the BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BAILOUT that the American Auto Industry got. Which is more harmful? This is a much more preferable way to help out American companies. It's an attempt to work WITH the market, instead of against it, which is what the bailout was, and what tariffs are.
I'm not saying we should have let the auto industry fail. But early intervention rather than a weak "Buy American" campaign that was really against communism more than "all imports" would have gone a lot further and saved a lot of money along the way.
