DEMAND CONGRESS TO INCREASE OUR IMPORT fees, taxes, and tariffs,

Such tariffs can have a positive effect because they create competition between domestic and foreign producers. Domestic producers typically want to ensure prices are competitive with imported foreign products to gain customers' business. This competition often leads to lower prices for consumers, leaving more purchasing power to buy other products. This can increase sales for businesses and lead to job expansion to help boost the economy.
