Chinese Impose 105% Import Duties on American Products

The Chinese have imposed import duties of 105% on American chickens. I think the factory farming of chickens in America is horrible, but I also think this can be used to encourage our own government to develop a little backbone.

China has artificially manipulated its currency such that the cost of imports into America is unrealistically low. Of course this has helped eliminate many thousands of good American manufacturing jobs. This decision isn't difficult or extreme: America needs to impose import duties of 35% to 45% on everything imported from China. Not as a threat or a short term tactical move. But as long term policy. Good manufacturing jobs will gradually start reappearing here in America if we do.

Of course the Chinese will scream like crazy. Well they are. Crazy like foxes. It is time to stop being Mr. Nice Guy. Our federal government is here to defend the American people from foreign aggression and exploitation. Oh, and along the way, screw the WTO. Just for a few years.
