National Retailer's Federation running anti-Border tax an during SNL...
AdWeek:
Do you ever have so much cash popping out of your wallet that you just have no clue what to do with it all? Well if you are one of those lucky few, the National Retail Federation has a solution for you.
In the ad, done in the style of an OxiClean infomercial, NRF addresses the proposed border adjustment tax. The tax, proposed by House Republicans in Congress, would provide tax relief to any U.S. company that sends its products to other countries, but would cut back on tax breaks to those that import goods.
In the infomercial the NRF imagines the border adjustment tax, or B.A.T., as an all-in-one tax that will surely make all of your disposable income disappear thanks to taxes on everyday items consumers need like food, gas, clothes and medications. According to the NRF, the tax could rack up an additional $1,700 for families each year.
Ordinary taxes alone just wont cut it! You need a tax like the BAT tax, the enthusiastic salesman says.
