Agree'd, BUT we don't have a tariff, just as we let our large corporations build in our cities and NOT PAY TAX's, we do not have a tariff to compensate for the discrepancies in the costs between two nations.
I personally believe tariff's are the answer, as are charging corporations tax's. Boy, we'd have all kinds of money then...

Why confuse people who are overseas with locals? That is a very different problem with no easy solution for the average person. Having a tariff on goods from China but then we all pay more for the same goods and the money goes to our government. This will slow down the flood of cheap imports. Now local companies can compete. The flood of $$$ to china, etc. will slow as we rebuild our infrastructure. Unfortunately nobody has the guts in government to say NO to American greed for more cheap shit toys. Norway has this tariff system in place. It's expensive as crap to go there and attempt to live. It keeps the local farmers alive.
