I’d like to enact trade tariffs and eliminate the income tax, how about you?
Awesome idea! How high would the tariffs need to be and how much revenue would that raise for the government?
Hell no, and hell no. Tariffs are a tax on efficiency, and the income tax is the most efficient tax. If the 10% income tax was good enough for God in the time of the Judges, then it's good enough for us.
