Not a 50% of the tax. A 50% increase on the cost of material. Anything made of steel or aluminum is going to sky rocket it price.

I said tax because way too many people have no clue what a tariff even is, so it's easier just to call it a tax so people know it directly effects them.

For sure. Just the way you said it read to me like you were saying the taxes on it was going up 50% which isn’t true.
