And just how does China stealing 95% of our software and intellectual property, cyber-attacking our Pentagon and NSA, devaluing their currency to undercut US manufacturing, arming to the teeth with a yearly 250 billion trade surplus courtesy of our trade policy, and requiring technology “offsets” for trade benefit you? The answer, it doesn’t.

Who was speaking about theft or cyber-attacks? If that's what Hunter meant he sure had a curious way of saying it. What I read is that he wants to "put the same charges on foreign goods that they put on ours." If he advocates putting a charge, a.k.a. tax, on something I am now buying that comes from China and is not now taxed, then he is for increasing taxes and/or punishing me. How else can I read this? I really don't give a d@mn if the Chinese want to tax their people on their imports. Most conservatives I know do not advocate using the power to tax to alter people's behavior.
