Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

SHRIMP IMPORT TARIFFS TOUTED
TREY BRYANT HAS THIS TO SAY: To all of my friends who may or may not be aware of the massive dumping of foreign shrimp into the U.S. market I am forwarding this message which I received from a friend this morning. PLEASE read it and support your U.S. Congressmen in the imposition of the tariffs on these countries. There are two reasons. First, the U.S. domestic shrimp tastes MUCH BETTER; Second, and much more importantly, the plight of the American shrimping industry is in dire need of our support. While wholesale (and I emphasize the term wholesale) shrimp prices have dropped to levels below those of some twenty years ago, the price of fuel and the other necessities to operate our shrimp boats has risen drastically. Also important to note is that your prices at the market or restaurants has not noticeably changed. The tariffs ARE working! Take a look and help our domestic shrimp markets from the local shrimpers to the processors. ORDER DOMESTIC SHRIMP AND SUPPORT THESE TARIFFS! The prices you will pay at the store or restaurant will NOT differ signifigantly, as it is the wholsale food brokers who are making the killing on the margins. You will be saving an American way of life!
