I still say drop everything and set all import taxes at 5%. Including all vehicles, oil, electronics, everything. To me that is free market trade with a small sales tax.
Too much of this tit-for-tat was created long ago under very different conditions. "chicken tax" is just idiotic at this point.
Do you think it's ok for other countries to impose 10% and 25% import taxes on our vehicles and we should only impose a 5% tax on theirs?
If they're willing to set their import taxes at 5% and ours at 5% then that would be fine but I don't think that's going to happen. Tit for tat sounds ok to me if they're not willing to make import taxes equal.
