It would be in my best interest. If you tax foreign goods so high, only the rich can afford it or obsessive nerds. This would in turn create a domestic interest in formerly foreign cheap Chinese crap markets.
If I want to personally import a Chinese whore, I make sure I do this.

I think he means Chinese made tools. I believe DeWalt is now made in China/Mexico and maybe Black and Decker too. Hard to find American made anything now.

i save jars from pasta sauces and whatnot for that, because im a cheap motherfucker, and canning jars are too useful and expensive for curing. plus i actually do preserve foods in my canning jars and since you cannot sterilize a ragu jar's lid without ruining the seal, and my dope doesnt mind a non-hermetic enviornment...

Because most "American" isn't American American anymore.
My American Denon Mitt Romney brand blu-ray player is very good quality and all metal. It's nearly the quality of my Lumagen video processor/transcoder.

My experience is that American toolmakers, even the pricy artisans, don't care for woodworking. They don't make world-class hand tools. cn

Countries like China don"t practice free trade and manipulate there currency value so not tariffing the hell out of them is taxing all of us except those that hold interest in Chinese factories.
Why do you think all the jobs went there fool.

No he sounds like Obama and Romney did they not say the same thing during the presidential debate or are you being retarded again at the expense of a weak ass troll? I guess you're going to deny that too until someone posts a youtube video circling the time in crayola for you.

The boom in U.S. exports is not helping erase Americas trade deficit with China, which was $295 billion in 2011, $22 billion higher than the year before. But American exports to China have increased by 468 percent since 2001, when the country joined the World Trade Organization, and are up by nearly 50 percent since 2008.
American business leaders applaud the Obama administration for putting the spotlight on exports during meetings with Chinese President Hu Jintao last year and with Vice President Xi Jinping during his visit to Washington last month. But they say there has been little, if any, change in the Chinese governments trade policies, licensing laws and investment rules which, according to American policymakers and businesspeople, restrict Chinas markets in some areas and keep the playing field uneven. The Chinese currency is undervalued by as much as 30 percent, U.S. officials have said.

Government CANT' "create jobs". They can (and do) only place obstacles in the way. Whenever a "government job" is created, it creates a GREATER need for the government to take away money, via taxation, from the producers. This is not job creation, but debt creation that the government practices.
Crony capitalism thru the military industrial complex uses perverse incentives and results in consequences that lead to the destruction of innocent people. I'm not in favor of THOSE kinds of jobs. As far as government subsidized stuff...that creates dependence rather than incentive.
Bottom line, whenever government "helps" think of it in these terms, they break your leg, then hand you some crutches and think you need to kiss their ass for "helping" you.

Rob,
The government does create jobs every once in a while. The same way a thief creates a job for new police.
