CHICKEN TAX - Originally signed into law by LYNDON B JOHNSON (Smiling after JFK/have blacks voting Democrat for 100 yrs) because WEST GERMANY and France banned American chickens! Why?? BECAUSE IT IS POISONED FOOD SUPPLY
>Subsequently, the Dutch accused the U.S. of dumping chickens at prices below cost of production.[11] The French government banned U.S. chicken and raised concerns that hormones could affect male virility.[11] German farmers' associations accused U.S. poultry firms of fattening chicken artificially with arsenic.[11]
>Coming on the heels of a "crisis in trade relations between the U.S. and the Common Market,"[11] Europe moved ahead with tariffs, intending that they would encourage Europe's postwar agricultural self-sufficiency.[12] European markets began setting chicken price controls.[11] France introduced the higher tariff first, persuading West Germany to join them—even while the French hoped to win a larger share of the profitable German chicken market after excluding U.S. chicken.[3] Europe adopted the Common Agricultural Policy, imposing minimum import prices on all imported chicken and nullifying prior tariff bindings and concessions.
