Er, don’t look now, but the FAIRtax rate, 23%, IS an import tariff.
ONE of the features of the FAIR tax that I really like is that it levels the playing field re: domestic vs. imported goods. That is, they are treated EQUALLY - both are taxed at EXACTLY the same rate.
That is but one of the reasons the FAIRtax is called “FAIR!”
A patriot doesn't want an equal playing field between domestic and imported goods, only Free Traitors want that. A nationalist wants to promote American industry and to protect it.
