"only tariff the $275 billion difference."

Frankly, that makes no sense.

Should we Tariff Lesotho because we buy a couple hundred million dollars of diamonds from them but they buy nothing from us?

"to level the playing field vs countries with little or no environmental regulations and little regard for human life."

This is part of what the WTO was supposed to do. I think if countries don't meet acceptable environmental and safety regulations, just don't buy from them. Problem fixed.

"The US govt did NOT do its job in the interest of the working class citizens of the United States of America."

You realize that this kicked off with Reagan and his Union busting, right? Then accelerated when China was accepted into the WTO under GHW Bush?
