tax imported foreign goods at a higher rate to stimulate sales of American made goods in our own country.

Look around your home and examine the lables to see where the goods you've purchased were made. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything "made in America". This now includes our FOOD ! This is a major cause of our economy being in the position it's in. Manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas contributing to the loss of millions of American jobs. Yet corporate America enjoys lower tax rates, even when they are not supporting manufacturing in this country. Let's level the playing field, increase taxes on imports from our biggest competitor CHINA, and increase corporate tax on companies that outsource jobs. Then provide lower corporate taxes to American Companies who actually provide American jobs. The foreign competion is destroying our economy.
