Could this really happen?
What’s the upshot?
Cut income tax and raise tariffs....
Dumb clickbait. Trump was speculating about a future when tariffs would make income taxes obsolete.
We are a long way from that.
End Fed Income taxes???
I certainly hope so!
So many decisions have been made, based on taxes...
Especially capital gains taxes .
Trump doubter!
>> We are a long way from that.<<
We were a long way from a lot of things just last week.

First he enacts the tariffs
Then he builds the External Revenue Service to pile up the foreign $$
Then he warms people up with no tax on tips and social security checks
Then once the foreign tariff coffers get filled, he abolishes all federal income tax
A perfect switch

Replace income tax with tariffs.
As an aside, it’s not as if the amount of money the US feral government spends has anything to do with how much tax revenue they collect.
First time the demons take over we will have both.
“Trump doubter!”
Do you believe Trump will end income taxes?

(would be nice if FR required at least a summary of what’s said in the videos being posted)
Income tax was put on the people in 1917. Thanks Wilson, another damn democRAT. Imagine if you kept what you earned.
VP Pence, for all his faults, was a co-sponsor of the FairTax bill that would replace Income Tax with a consumption tax. I would hope Pence discussed it with Trump and pointed out the advantages.
Treasury Secretary said similar

“As Treasury Secretary, I’m committed to eliminating income taxes, replacing them with a fair consumption tax, and adopting a gold-backed currency,” Bessent said in a Monday post on X following his confirmation. “We’ll erase debt, restore financial privacy, and unlock new technologies for a prosperous future. The golden age starts now.”

Lower taxes, higher tariffs...
Lower taxes, higher tariffs...
