So the price of goods go up and consumers are *taxed* more on top of it?

There you go again defending the income tax like a good Communist that you must really be. Stuff it you progressive < expletive deleted >.

Where am I defending an income tax?

Your arguments on trade are right out of Bernie’s handbook.

They are incredibly wrong, come from dubious sources, and have been used by liberals since Reagan’s era.

You actually want higher tariffs+plus a consumption tax. Just imagine how much consumer goods will cost average Americans.
