: You want all that infrastructure including bike paths and lanes. Somebody's got to pay for it. An excise tax on tires will not skip foreign manufactured goods. Sellers of those goods in the US have to pay the tax, and it gets passed on to you in the price -- like the alcohol and tobacco taxes. If you import tires directly from Thailand, it gets collected by CBP along with custom duty and the other border add-ons like the Merchandise Processing Fee. YOU'RE SCREWED! Donald Trump is personally screwing you. The liberal snowflakes love bike tires and would not screw you -- except in Oregon where the ONLY consumer product with a separate sales tax is a bicycle. https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...e_only_bi.html $15 smackers.

I actually know Earl and will tell him to stand up to the bike tire tax! No bike tire tax!! (continue chanting). Maybe we can get them to tax something else, like wood pellets or analog and mixed signal circuit designs.
