Sidestepping election comments, I'm not sure you understand economics. Trade barriers (tariffs, etc.) often produce the opposite effect.

Given the general labor categories (unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled, and highly skilled), you may want to consider voting for someone who will prioritize education and make it accessible. What you'll find is many countries outside of the U.S. do this and it provides a solid foundation to economic growth.

If you still don't believe me, take a look at the education levels and gross national income of some of the poorest nations in the world. Conversely, look at South Korea and Singapore as solid examples of nations who completely reversed their country's economic conditions by prioritizing education. Although the later two countries did assume protectionist policies to safeguard their infant manufacturing sectors, these barriers were later removed and both countries engage in free trade practices.
more education does not = smarter people, the average college kid or freshly graduated college kid is fucking stupid and has no real world experience in anything other then free rides.

I export a lot of goods and most countries charge 30-50% off the top and if we charged that on incoming parts it would be cheaper to make them here, you know like it used to be
