But as a higher tax guy you probably are a Dim. You presume that I am in favor of higher taxes, an assumption both incorrect and without basis.
A variety of revenue neutral measure could be implemented to correct the trade problem.
Would you like an end to the death tax? How about an end to all taxes on capital gains? And, as long as we're at it, perhaps we could end the double taxation of divideds. I'd like that too. A variety of taxes on certain specified trade activities might let us accomplish those ends.

I suspect you favor higher tariffs and a tax by any name is a tax. I know you are against freedom. As you seek to try to undermine the case for free voluntary exchange between people based on artificial imaginary geographic concepts.
Nations are useful for protecting us from attack. Protecting us from free exchange is of course not production but damaging us.
