   And, since the imported TV now costs $1,250, the domestically produced TV (let’s pretend it doesn’t contain any imported parts) that was originally $1,100, will now likely also cost you $1,200, or close to it. In the end, the consumer will pay more, because, let’s face it, the TV company CEO needs his raise.

   Back in the dark ages, I worked at a small CPA firm. We traditionally had a company-sponsored Christmas party at a nice restaurant. One year, one of the partners called me into his office and asked me (as the senior staff member) to poll the rest of the staff to see if they wanted to go to the Bonanza steak house (a chain steakhouse if you don’t remember it) instead. Of course, the votes were unanimously negative.

   Upon reporting these results, the partner told me it wasn’t a choice; that’s where it was going to be held. Several staff members told me they were not going to attend.

   I left the firm just after Thanksgiving, so I didn’t attend either.

   If you think that’s wrong, maybe you should respond with an equally well reasoned argument why. Please enlighten us – why should a second rate carnival barker be elected over a very qualified opponent?
