We need tax changes.

Currently our taxes are based on freedom to import manufactured things, and freedom to export jobs.

We have now imported trillions of dollars of manufactured things, and exported millions and millions of American jobs.

I say enough of both. Tax imports, and tax exported goods. Now.

That is just me though. Don’t see much wider support for such movements - so China continues to get stronger and stronger.

We continue to get weaker, and weaker.

And nobody does a thing, about the growing problems.

Oh sorry one mistake.

Tax exported jobs. Not goods. :D

You'll always attract more flies with honey than you will with vinegar.

Your solution to bringing jobs back to the US is purely punitive. Punish businesses (foreign and domestic) and the pain is simply passed on to the end consumer.

A better solution is for us to make doing in the US more attractive by lowering government-imposed taxes and regulations. That's the conservative answer to the problem.
