    Almost everyone is in favor of the Affordable Care Act, but as soon as they hear “Obamacare” it’s suddenly evil.

    Or like how Burger King A&W’s 1/3 pound burger never took off because Americans are too stupid to realize 1/3 is a bigger number than 1/4 so they go to McDonald’s instead.

        I’ve been trying to call them import taxes because more people should. It simplifies the explanation of what teriffs are greatly

          I bet a coworker that the words “tariff” and “tax” are synonyms. Fucker refused to pay even after we looked it up - called Thesaurus.com “fake news”.
