He said he would make it so that companies like Carrier would have to pay a significant tax (upwards of 30 percent) in order to import their goods to the U.S.

So...the price I would have to pay for a Carrier air conditioner is going to go up by as much as 30%?

Yep.

Tariffs make certain people rich in the country and the rest of us broke.

You would think Trumpers would look at Venezuela and see how great protectionism works, but I doubt they can make the intellectual leap.
