It is strange to tax companies on fictional profits that ignore the costs of the goods they have imported. A border adjustment tax will raise prices for American consumers.

I am more in favor of verification of work authorization, that’s the border tax I am in favor of.

WHere did this monstrosity even start? Do we know what think tank or lobbyists are responsible for it?

I’m tired of so-called experts misnaming and mischaracterizing import/export issues under the catch-all Border Tax meme.

It is highly disingenuous and only intended to draw readers and clickers under the guise of some illegal immigration question. It is not. Stop it.

I am for it.

The whole purpose of the BAT(and a tariff) is to raise prices of imported goods. That is a good thing. The result of which will stimulate domestic production and competitions. The BAT will also be a foil to use against those leftist wrongly claiming that personal income tax rate reductions have "to be paid for". Well here is how we pay for it. WIN - WIN.

Not good enough corporate profits to 20% from 35%, President Trump is right to go to 15%.

I’m not sure that I agree... I think it may be fine.

Mexico has a 16% value-added tax U.S. companies must pay on their exports into Mexico. There's no corresponding tax on the Mexican exports into the U.S.
