There are various opinions.

My own view is we need to tax imports.

All imports. Food. Manufactured goods. Fuel. Everything.

Maybe a little (10%), or maybe more (25%? 35%?)

But America needs American jobs. Stop sending US jobs to Asia.

Bring them home.

Now.

The consequence will be retaliatory tariffs on US exports. This would hurt US companies. The US, in many cases, is an unfit place to do business as a result of high regulations, Obamacare, etc. These companies are fleeing a bad situation. If you want more jobs in America then reduce the burdens on US business rather than tax imports.

And what exactly do you think is going to happen to the price of those goods when a tax is imposed? WE will be paying it and many in this country right now who live within their means are barely making it as it is. I agree, American manufacturing needs to come home but it won’t so long as we have a runaway government that has serious spending and entitlement problems. That needs to be fixed first so a climate that promotes American business has even a chance of surviving.
