it's just sales tax with more steps that only apply to foreign goods
but that on the long run since it removes competition also ends up causing higher local prices for local goods
even more if you tax inputs for local production that cannot be sourced locally
and American food specifically is so much worse as well. take prego sauce vs Canada's Rao; prego has so much more sugar and garbage compared to Roa. Americans are going to pick the unhealthier option for the price. even if RFK is able to fix a lot of that, it won't be overnight
both are still trash tho xD
just that one is trashier
