While I appreciate the joke, you’re repeating a common historical misconception. For Among Us Merch Impostor Sheet Character Shirt, most of the trade between the east and west happened through Egypt (the trade network in the Indian Ocean was probably the most valuable in the world at this time, and the shortest link between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean was through Egypt), which the Ottomans wouldn’t conquer until 1517 — 25 years after Columbus discovered the Americas.

Both before and after the conquest of Among Us Merch Impostor Sheet Character Shirt, the Ottomans didn’t tax goods unusually heavily; obviously there were some taxes, but trade with European states was the economic lifeblood of the Ottoman Empire, so they had an interest in not stifling it. Really, if the Ottomans did tax trade as heavily as you’re saying, then you would expect most European mercantile states to start looking into direct routes to the Indian Ocean; instead, at this point in time, it was only Portugal and Spain that were interested. For the major mercantile states of the Mediterranean like Venice and Florence, the Ottomans were no different from any of the states that came before them, and business kept on as usual.
