sure the consumer always pays the sales tax. It would raise the price of the imported goods making goods made in this country more appealing to the consumer plus it could increase manufacturing in this country (more jobs)

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. While I support extreme tariffs being put on products being unfairly "dumped" in this country by foreign companies or state run entities, I have reservations about "protectionism" used primarily to support union made products, where by their own doing, have grossly priced themselves out of the market. There is a fine line here.
