Excellent non answer answer.
Bottom line does your tariff eliminate the compliance costs of Obamacare, OSHA, EPA, TORT Lawyers, NIMBYs, Taxes and so on and so forth?
yes or no?
The tariff doesn't eliminate the cost. The tariff helps to eliminate any unfair advantage to the foreign producer due to these costs.
Again your suggesting killing the patient to cure a rash. We can eliminate all of the above costs to companies, by off-shoring all of the companies. But then we won't be able to afford to buy their products even though they are cheap.
Better to make foreign producers pay an amount equal to what domestic producers have to pay. That eliminates the unfair advantage.
