long term, tariffs on foreign goods is not a solution to actually collect tax money.  for starters, there isn't enough goods to tax, to actually make up for the gap.  secondly, if people were able to switch to cheaper domestic products, than you won't be collecting any tariff money at all. what the republicans still want, is a 30% sales tax on everything you buy. that's on top of your state/local 8.25% that you already pay on everything.
