What will Bernie Sanders say regarding Trump's proposed 20% tariff on Mexican imports?

[Nick Otean]

It is unclear to me.
What do you guys think Birne will say about it?

1. Really

He has no real influence in Congress so it's unimportant as to what he thinks

[Talk Is Cheap]

3. Really?

Sanders has no influence in Congress?

4. It is essentially a tax on corporations

I think that 20% is the starting point, not the end point, but let's say it becomes 5-25%. I drink a lot of Corona, so that is a 25% tax on Corona, paid by the importer, Anheuser-Busch, which they have to pass along to me. They pay it on their cost, which is probably 1/10 of my cost (I buy 6packs cold at the deli), so my cost probably goes up $1-2 a six pack. I think that Bernie supports increased taxes on businesses.
