Then why have the tax stall if it doesn’t make any difference?

To protect American jobs, and more specifically union jobs. That is the reason why the UAW negotiated to add the 25% tariff to the chicken tax, and why they continue to lobby for it to stay. They may not get all of the factories unionized, but the chances are greater to get a factory unionized if you force truck makes to build in the US versus overseas.

Light trucks were NOT added to the chicken tax by the manufacturers to protect their market share and profits. It was added by the UAW to protect their market share and profits.
