1. Get out of GATT. No foreigners should regulate American trade. Only the countries involved in the trade.
2. Eliminate the red tape in the US. Bureaucracies are a killer.
3. Support TRUE free trade. Not one hand behind the back trade. If other countries put massive tariffs on our stuff, slap a 10000% tax on any American based corporation that has their manufacturing in that country and exports it here. Punish countries with slave labor(China).
4. Avoid patronizing business that eliminate our jobs when possible. It's hard as hell, but I try my best to avoid Made in China products.

To that I might add:
5. No government subsidies to corporations to move overseas (end OPIC).
6. No American taxpayor funded military protection for same. Why should we pay for un-American people's safety?
7. No more domestic corporate welfare (end H1B).
8. End minimum wage for minors. (and work to eliminate as the market improves).
9. Bush can do like George Washington and promote domestic goods. Washington wore an American-made brown suit as did Ben Franklin, to promote U.S. textiles. None of this globalist "If it's good for China, it's good for us" bovine squat.
I think you should have said "Punish countries with the name China. If China stopped all slave labor and was still exporting a lot to the US, you position would be the same. I say this because the vast majority of Chinese made products are not made with slave labor.
That one is both so important and so obvious I wonder why no one ever seems to pick it up. It isn't free trade when one country's market is wide open, and the other is tarriffed and highly regulated.
