You can just look at some of the comments in the media matters article to see how off the deep end people are.

Basically what this was, was a tax on the fake trees made overseas of 15 cents.. to go back to American growers to expand their markets here in the states..

The right once again in its Obama derangement.. picks overseas workers over American workers and small businesses..

GOD give me strength..

15 cents per tree and the wingers lose their minds.

They're just not sane.

They really crazy thing.. Christmas Trees are not a Christian symbol.. it really is nuts.. these are the same type of people who go ballistic over XMAS... because they do not know that X stands for Christ during the Roman persecution.. they use religion for a political hammer.. not spirituality..

I did books for a potato shed back in 1987. We paid a fee to the potato commission that paid for promotions and inspectors. A similar grape commission brought us The California Raisins. This is such a non-issue that anybody who raised it should be gagged from political speech for life.

It is my understanding it was an industry request to promote buying live trees and it was similar to what other industries do "Got Milk?" "Beef, it's what's for dinner", etc. These morons just want to trash POTUS every chance they get!!!

For some reason, that cracked me up, big time!

Bet he could get what he is asking for them, no haggling would be involved.
