but they are not buying made in america shit because it is more expensive, so either way the consumers are forced to pay even more than they were before. plus, made in america shit will get more expensive because oftentimes they are made with imported parts.  plus, companies will now be incentivized to make in america which sounds good in theory but isnt good in reality. it would be good if we had a bunch of workers poking for jobs, but we dont. and well have even less workers looking for jobs once immigration is cut down and deportations are started. now american workers will not just be needed for manufacturing jobs, but also for agricultural, construction, and other jobs carries about by immigrants legal or illegal. to attract those workers pay will have to go up, which again sounds good in theory, but is bad in reality because prices will go up even further and that increase in wages wont effect the majority of americans.  the only way i can see tariffs not resulting in the average american having less money in their pocket is if trump did things that will never happen. those things being trump forcing every americans wage be increased x% or forbidding companies from raising prices and forcing them to earn less profit, or eliminating federal income tax or drastically changing the income brackets so the average american pays little to no in taxes. dont get me wrong i voted for trump, but i think his talk on tariffs will be one of those things politicians talk about doing but never do. i just hope trump follows through with deporting all the illegals and enacting federal voter id laws.
