Hey, I never even thought of THIS objection!

"And then there's the fact that quite a lot of our consumer products—the TVs mentioned previously, for example—are made outside of this country. A reduction in payroll taxes on US companies isn't going to do much to bring down the price of a Japanese-made TV. But the price of that TV will still go up by 23%."

What about that?

You buy American.

Yeah for better or worse there are factions that would pounce on that as a good thing in terms of helping the local manufacturing industry. New cars would be an even better example.

 Of course that would hurt overseas trades however, as whenever the US tries to even push a minor tarrif other countries cause a LOT of static.  I can only imagine how the rest of the world would react to this.
