10. good questions
Tariffs would be a means of implementing.

Each country would set there own and decide which jobs to protect.

Tariffs have been used though out our history until recently. Until all local economies are equal in labor costs this is needed. It is wrong that we are exploiting very low wage jobs in foreign counties at the expense of our own jobs.

Our country should have the best workers doing the high priced jobs and leading the world in technology but what we have is a flood of cheap goods from cheap labor and no investment in our country.
