So you want to increase the taxes US consumers pay on imported goods.

How are we going to tax ourselves into prosperity? It’s a simple question, and directly addresses what you want to do.

Consumption taxes are good, as a matter of fact the USA lived on them for the first 80 years of its existence. If the tariffs collected off set the comparative advantage of using third world labor, around 10%, I would say that would be taxing our way to sanity. China can't retaliate because their tariffs are already sky high.
