I believe that one of the main concerns is the trade gap. Free trade with third world countries is killing American jobs. It is making China, Latin America, Africa, and India richer while we get poorer. America's jobs are being outsourced to the third world. We should re-instate tarriffs. Import taxes on goods and services coming into this country. The Chinese are selling us things we can make for ourselves. Then they are turning around and loaning us our money back and charging us interest on our own money.

I would like to see this issue entered into the Tea Parties' core beliefs along with Illegal Immagration and Lowering Taxes.

If we stand united on this we can affect real change. Start calling ellected officials and ask when we are sending american jobs to foreign counties. Lets take back what is ours. If we raised taxes on foreign importers it will make american companies competative and increase the amount of taxes we bring in so we can lower taxes for americans. Let China and India pay to support and defend our great country. God bless America, and her friends and allies as well.
