re: House Republicans Are Preparing To Hit Consumers With A Horrible New Tax

I'm no economist but this sounds good to me. Gives a leg up to American companies by effectively reversing the status quo where cheap foreign labor (sweatshops) makes it difficult to compete.

As a consumer, I already pay taxes on the full amount of the cost of a product why shouldn't we make foreign companies do the same? Passing the cost of the tax onto the consumer will make buying American that much easier.
