We don’t have a national sales tax today. That would have to be legislated first.

Oh we do, it's not obvious to most people. It's called tariffs - it's a tax on product purchased and imported into the US. Of course, it's paid for by the importer/company directly, so it's indirectly paid for by the consumer.

You have to forgive me for being old, but that's just asking for a "you ain't seen nothing' yet" response.
