No, burgers would cost $45 because cattle farming would be unsubsidized and very expensive. It wouldn't just be a random $40 tax on burgers, that's obviously counterproductive.

- miked85 5y agoMaking up numbers doesn't seem like the best way to prove a point.
- OJFord 5y agoIt may not be the best way, but hyperbole is an established rhetorical device.
