“Simply passing a 100% tariff(sic) on all imports would hurt everybody starting with the little guy.”

Gotta start somewhere! We’ve been in the waffling inaction mode for far, far too long.
Might as well be there. What we’re doing now is destroying our beloved nation, rapidly.
“Gotta start somewhere!.. Might as well be there.” Terrible answer. How about we Abolish trade with communists altogether, exports too, not just tarrifs. A better place to start would be securing borders or putting the EPA in check. Your tarrif would mean less product on shelves not a solved problem. There are many countries on par with our standards, Canada for starters. One idea sprang from what you said though, pass a law stating by the year 2020 we shall import no energy and remove the restrictions preventing us from being energy independent. That in itself would spark a boom like none we’ve seen in my lifetime and best of all it won’t just be a bubble.
