Do you think US should tax the crap out of China imports?

I haven't researched it, but to help improve the economy, I think our import tax should be extremely high (especially for China). I think it should be so high that American products easily compete with it. If this were to be implemented it would: 1) Keep more jobs in the US, 2) keep more money in the US, and 3) decrease the nation's debt faster. What are your opinions?

    They are called tariffs. They would increase the cost of the imported goods you buy at Walmart. Pick your poison.

    Last thing we need is a tarrif war. Further, if we forced China off our shelves, millions of people who sell and distribute and package and imports the goods from China would be unemployed.

    That will do the opposite. We are able to make huge technological leaps stealing the smartest from CHina.

    Sure, great idea, P/$$ off China. Maybe they'll stop lending money to the US.
