You don't pay the import tax if you buy goods from within the country.
The goal seems to be to drive sales to American businesses with American goods. Until it's cheaper to buy American goods than it is to buy Chinese goods. Reversing the roles.
Of course you pay it - just not directly - because there is basically no good from "within the country" whose inputs are not affected by the tarrifs.
The idea that the US is suddenly gonna massively ramp up its production of coffee, electric machinery, shoes and other products that are produced by countries with a massive competetive advantage is just ridiculous.

This is quite good. Sorry it's a short.
That guy was really patient while explaining to the magat. I'm disappointed in it being a short, and accept your apology 100%. At the same time I'd like to say thank you for posting it. Just sent it on to a family member.
