I want this. When Nike makes Shoes for 2 bucks a pair in a sweatshop in Indonesia, then brings them here and charges 200, that should be taxed

And who do you think is going to pay that tax?

We need that tax. We want it. Consumption taxes are far better than income taxes. I want Uncle Sam to get addicted to tariff income. It gets the feds going on the right direction.

The consumers will of course. And I want it to be enough that someone here gets a decent job, and a factory has to be built, and machines have to be built, bought, installed and maintained, and those workers go buy houses, go on vacations, buy shoes, and don’t need welfare.

Slave made shoes being cheap doesn’t matter if our middle class has no Jobs.

A casual look at Germany shows that they value their manufacturing sector and protect it. Why do Germans not outsource their factories?
