I don't see how this wouldn't hurt the overall economy right from the start. Your talking about a massive increase on the cost of goods across the board. Instead of focusing on how we can encrouage domestic growth by cutting regulations and tax breaks for domestic companies trumps solution is more taxes? Wake up conservatives this guy isn't what he says.

 

A 45% tariff on goods imported from China would cause both their economy and our economy to collapse completely, causing a worldwide depression.   Everyone with any sense knows that taxes are a drag on economic activity.   This proposed ginormous tariff would be like tying a concrete block to our economy and throwing it into the ocean.
