Who better to pay taxes than the buyers of imported goods made by foreign workers. That is the most fair tax of all.
Yep, agreed. I mentioned who pays the tariffs/duties because there are a lot of people saying "make China pay/China pays the tariffs"...the only way that China would "pay" is by reduced exports/sales due to tariffs. (not happening BTW current trade deficit $861 Billion). ($346 Billion with China the rest w/Mexico and other countries).

I forgot another possible effect of tariffs is bringing manufacturing back to the USA, but the issue is that the gap in labor rates/expenses is too great for normal tariffs to be effective in that endeavor...(Slave labor rates vs. $15+ min. and much more for union manufacturing jobs).
