My comment was not arguing one way or another. Instead I was pointing out that the original wording of your top level comment might mislead people as it sounded like there was little doubt to the effectiveness of a Border Adjustment Tax, when in truth it has never been tried. Rereading your original post it now seems more reasonable. I don't know if that is because it has been edited, or because I am reading it in a new light. To be clear, I welcome the suggestion of trying new solutions. The current system is clearly broken.
