Who says I’m against a 100% tariff on imports?
America goes further into the economic pie-hole every day.
We need to bring back America’s economy. Somehow. If tariffs on all imports will work, I’m all for that.
But we need to do something.
Well, once people started explaining to you what a stupid idea it was to double the price of gasoline in the name of economic prosperity (or to “bring our jobs back”), you dropped it all for economic populism, aimed at low-information voters.
Nobody on this forum. Why did you ask? As 1rudeboy noted, your bumper-sticker slogans are not helpful. You should read rather than write.

Simple solution, tie ALL Tariffs directly on the tax rates that domestic production as to suffer.
So by example:
USA Made widget, sells for 1,000 costs the company 200 bucks in taxes on materials and labour to make, ie 20% tax rate on widget.
China Made widget, china sell it to us for 800 bucks, but we put a 200 dollar tariff on it.
So essentially this puts pressure to lower domestic taxes because they are directly tied to Tariffs, so you will have large multinationals actually lobbying to LOWER domestic taxes, win-win.
Domestic taxes go down, domestic production goes up!
Ideally if we funded the government ONLY with Tariffs, Border control would be well funded and ENFORCED!
