If you wear clothes, Bush has a new tax on you.
This is what happens when Southerners control the GOP, and it controls the government: The Bush Administration just announced new protectionist tariffs on clothing imports. "The new rules, scheduled to be published today in the Federal Register, were posted in recent days on a government Web site. Word of their impending imposition has stirred anger among clothing retailers and importers, who contend that the barriers contravene an international agreement to open the worldwide textile trade starting in 2005." Maybe they believed that crap about balancing the budget, too.
