You've all got it right. We ought to have a tax on imports from hostile countries equal to their risk of using the wealth gained therefrom against the military or economic interests of this country minus whatever they buy from us.

China goods would be virtually unaffordable if the free traders had to pay for their free ride of taxpayer expenses to displaced workers (including our allies) and the need for greater militrary spending to counter growing Sino hegemonity.

Absurd. What is your definition of "hostile"? Explain to me how China is hostile, other than the typical retort that they are audacious enough to have a military.

"Sino hegemonity [sic]" is a joke peddled by the likes of Bill Gertz and WorldNetDaily.com.
