I don't think restrictions on salaries are the answer; in fact it is a profoundly bad idea.

The best thing is tariffs in concert with rolling back the taxes and regulations, and some way to ease up the influence of the unions. And imposing extra taxes on all overseas income.

You have a choice of tariffs OR rolling back taxes and regulations. Various politicians will promise you tax cuts and regulatory relief somewhere down the road in return for your support of tariffs today.

"Somewhere down the road" will never arrive.

And imposing extra taxes on all overseas income.

Would you mind explaining how this would do anything except NEGATIVELY affect our balance of trade?

It's a tax on exports--which, BTW, is unconstitutional.
