This is going to awaken the vampires all over the world. They can’t afford to have their collection agency destroyed.

Y’all might want to get rid of the 16th amendment first,
so the next Democrat president doesn’t double tax us.

It is a good goal.

President Trump believes in thinking bigly.

Think what savings and investments could be attained without companies acting as IRS collectors. I still feel a consumption tax is the best approach as it would force politicians to focus on the health of the economy. Regardless if you make $35,000 or $3,000,000 or a business. You purchase an item, whether its a $20 clock radio or $200,000 car, EVERYONE is paying taxes, not just the middle and upper classes.

“I still feel a consumption tax is the best approach”

Aren’t Tariffs a Consumption Tax?

They are suddenly worried about the deficit after laundering $250,000,000,000 through Ukraine.

Yes/No If you buy a car made in Japan, you’re paying a tariff, but if you buy a Japanese car made in the US, there’s no tariff.

” The Deep State tried to kill me, but I will kill it.” Paraprasing Trump’s hero Andrew Jackson.

Are you sure about that? Spending has no relation whatsoever to tax collection, the currency itself is untethered to anything. Congress hasn’t passed a budget in over 10 years.

All of this nonsense is mostly simply legacy institutions from an economic system that died (murdered) a long, long time ago. Beardsley Ruml was a former Macy’s department store executive who FDR tapped as an economic advisor. Having experience with people who bought on “layaway” or “on time”, he came up with the then novel idea of Income Withholding to help pay for the War. Prior to that, individuals paid quarterly just like business does today.

Anyway, Mr. Ruml pointed out in a speech just after the war -that with a printing press, the federal government has absolutely no need for taxation. It’s just a method of “social control” or punishment, or whatever.

Recall that Obummer was asked about a certain tax policy he was promoting. What if tax revenues actually go down as a result?

“It’s the right thing to do” he replied. Ya gotta go to school a long time to get that stupid.

I agree.

Everybody pays something.

No more class warfare by the Marxist Dems.
