The real question is, do coffee growing countries have tariffs on coffee imports? The Constitution specifically mentions tariffs as a means of raising revenue. The creation of the income tax has been a disaster for Freedom. It is a punishment for working.

Get rid of corporate taxes and income taxes and go back to tariffs and sales taxes. They are truly voluntary as they are based on consumption. Don't want to pay the autosales tax? Don't buy one. Tax on cigarettes? Don't smoke. Tax on a plate of smoked trout and scrambled eggs with toast? If that sounds good to you then you'll pay the tax, but it will be your choice. Man, that sounds good right now. I'm hungry.

“Get rid of corporate taxes and income taxes and go back to tariffs and sales taxes. “

This MUST be our talking point.

Otherwise we’ll end up with income taxes, corporate taxes AND tariffs and VAT’s.
