Winning!
Goodbye IRS!
Sweet!
OH HELL YES.
(We’re dreaming, I know, but this country would boom like never before if we eliminated all of the inefficiencies and roadblocks and bottlenecks in our economy that are the direct result of having to plan around the income tax code.)
Can I vote for him yet?
Woohoo! The Constitutional solution!
The original plan.
Have we ever seen a proposition so ingenious—both practically and politically—in the entire history of our country?
That’s the way it used to be prior to the 16th amendment.
That amendment was the worst thing ever done to this country. It resulted in this bloated, corrupt monstrosity we call the government and the bureaucratic state (deep state).
It make the government the owner of whatever amount of money you make and they just decide how much of it they let you keep.
Repealing it is an admirable goal, but to achieve it the government would have to shrink to a 10th or less the size of what it is today. Fat chance of that happening.
The tax code is the single largest source of corruption in DC. But we would have to go Article V to take it out.
This is a great idea. The income tax is just as immoral as slavery - it robs one of the fruit of one’s labor. Trump will be as great as Lincoln for emancipating us from this evil.
The income tax is not about funding the feral government. The amount of income tax collected is completely dissociated from how much they spend.
The purpose the income tax is to punish the people who don’t vote for you and reward the people who do.
Just for warm-ups, let’s start with the 87,000 new IRS agents the GOPe sent us.
Yea.... this just might bring back our manufacturing base.
50-state landslide
love love love this!
First the income tax, then onto the Federal Reserve!
Yes and per the original US Constitution!! The folks who own the Federal Reserve, ie, the Rothschilds clan, and a few other ultra wealthy families of the world won’t like that. I recall that JFK was going to do the very same thing and dissolve the Federal Reserve. We all know how that turned out.
Are there any countries that currently have no income tax?
Maybe after inflation recedes, maybe. but not before.
Tarriffs WILL raise domestic prices and the more “punishing” the tarrifs (which is what tarriffs meant to replace the income tac would be) the morely that the price of tens of thousands goods will go up. The timing of intoducing them now, and particularly at once, would create a big rcession.
I would prefer to replace the “progressive” income tax with a single, universal FLAT income tax rate, that would apply to everyone, and everyone’s income, with no deductions, no exempltions, no exclusions and no credits. Just a flat tax everyone pays. The IRS would need 90% fewer people and people would make economic and financial decisions based on natural financial considerations, not to seek a better “tax result”.
How much revenue did Federal income tax bring in, in 2023?
It seems like these would have to be some VERY stiff tariffs.
Granted that I’d like to see the income tax go away, not because it costs me, a very moderate income earner, so much, but just because of the incredible hassle, AND, your 1040 is used for means testing in all sorts of social engineering projects. Even academic(!) scholarships now often depend on the unbelievably intrusive “FAFSA”* form, which in turn depends on among many other things, the 1040.
*Just read through a FAFSA form sometimes and see if it doesn’t make you ill...
This is absolutely a winning issue. It would never be implemented in Congress, but it’s an outstanding political “reach” that could turn into a transformational approach to how U.S. citizens see their duties as taxpayers.
