I pre-paid the Ford, a brand-new pickup;
Then my dealer explained the extra-cost hiccup:
\u201cRaise the price? I wouldn\u2019t dare if
Our President hadn\u2019t laid on the tariff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an F-150, made in the States,
A redneck truck, with Michigan plates!\u201d
\u201cDon\u2019t complain, or I\u2019ll call the Sheriff:
It\u2019s the law of the land, this god-damned tariff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its motor\u2019s made in Canada, the wheels in Mexico,
Foreign parts are in our cars, no matter wherever you go.
I\u2019m a patriot, and so shouldn\u2019t care if
Our President hadn\u2019t laid on this tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow much more? Fifteen thousand!\u201d
Thus emotions quickly arouse in
Folks for whom it doesn\u2019t seem fair if
We tax ourselves with a gigantic tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When onto our imports and exports we put
Tariffs, we shoot ourselves in the foot.
Of all this I would not be aware if
My pickup hadn\u2019t been taxed with a tariff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
