Sounds good, but I don’t know how practical this is. If we stop importing from other countries and bring back manufacturing here, then the money collected from tariffs will be less. Will it be then be enough to support the military, police and other government services? I would be in favor of a flat tax, say 5% - 10% depending on income. Much simpler filing. Takes me half day to do taxes every April and I hate it. Have to down a couple bourbons afterwards.

HR 25, the FairTax.
It makes more sense than any income tax. And, it puts the citizens (all of them) on the same playing field. It dumps the IRS.

That’s the rub, half the population does not pay any income tax. And when the dems take over they will be unstoppable in taking money from income and spending it for programs overseas like they always do, rubber-stamped by RINOs.
