You need to ease up on those drugs. Now you can't even do simple math! 23% of the price of an item added to the price of that item raises the cost, it does not lower it. Only the black market can do that!
But they raise the cost of the American product exactly as much. So the advantage remains!
But if it is imported to our country, our people are the ones who pay, not the country shipping to us!
$226 out of $2000 earned, is insignificant. And since they are illegal, they probably will buy on the black market, so they get everything without the 23%! :roll:
You sure are lowballing your figures to push your sales tax. They are more likely getting $8 to $10 per hour and working 60 hours a week, which would be more like $2400 per month! A whole lot more than they could make in their country. No sale on the bull!

Oh yeah! The are really doing a bang-up job now, aren't they? They are almost as swampy as the Democrats.
No! But the sales tax won't keep them from losing their house if they can't pay their bills after paying that 23% tax, plus state taxes!
ONLY IF CONGRESS BALANCES THE BUDGETS!
