Well the idea is to make it cheaper for businesses to operate in the US, instead of foreign countries by cutting taxes. If businesses stay in the US or come back that will create more jobs, which will help people pay for these goods. The import tax should help keep American goods produced in the country somewhat competitive with foreign countries like China, who's overhead is so much lower because of lets call it lax regulations and treatment of workers. There should be a duty paid to do business in the worlds largest market. Then the government has more money to invest in infrastructure. I think it's a better idea then getting ripped off in every trade deal, with this globalization trend. Just relying on importing foreign goods isn't good for the employment rate of that country.
