I am tired of all these cheaply made Chinese products. The time for high tariffs is NOW

Toys dipped in lead. Products containing the date rape drug. Cheap toys and electronics that break after 6 months. While we Americans get these products, the manufacturing jobs continue to move to China. I remember in the 1970's toys that were made here in the USA, employing thousands of American people. Now 99% of the toys are manufactured in China. Yes they are cheap, but they are also cheaply made too. So what if the toys cost a few bucks less, I'd safely bet that most Americans would pay a few bucks more for a toy IF they knew it was made here in America, employing American workers.

Since NAFTA, passed in 1993 by Clinton and championed by neoconservatives and globalists, the returns are in. Hundreds of thousands of good paying American manufacturing jobs go south to Mexico, and now east to China. Thousands of Illegal immigrants heading across the border to America to take advantage of our social services. The Mexican peso was devalued the next year after NAFTA was passed, keeping millions of Mexicans in poverty. Now China is the factory to the world. Thousands of good paying manufacturing jobs that were here in the USA, now gone, with low paying retail jobs to take their place. I am sick of it. Ross Perot was right on NAFTA. Pat Buchanan was right on NAFTA. Instead we American people got the shaft by globalists and neoconservatives. Too bad Buchanan was not elected in 1992. He would have been a great president.

We need to start manufacturing products here in the good ole' USA starting NOW.
The way to get our manufacturing base going again is to increase tariffs on ALL imports ASAP. This way it will negate the cheap labor from overseas and Mexico. Products will cost more to continue to import, therefore companies will find it more cost effective to manufacture in the USA, providing good paying American jobs once again.
We also need to punish companies that outsource jobs overseas with high fees.
Let us continue to stand for higher tariffs on Imports and punish companies that outsource our labor.
