Great theory, not going to work in practice. The people (and companies) that buy the most, and would thus fund a significant portion of this tax, would just start buying stuff from outside the country. Outsourcing is bad enough as it is, just wait and see what would happen if this tax legislation were to happen.

Wow, August is certainly a strange month for us agreeing on things. Thank God there isn't an election this month!

You can thank Him. I'll thank my lucky stars, or whatever it is we infidels believe in. Ah, that's right, it's money. Thanks, Visa!
