If we were to do away with the 16th Amendment, thereby eliminating Federal income taxes, could the gov't make up the lost revenue via tariffs on imports (or some other method which creates American jobs)?
Seems like a win to me, but I don't know where to start to find the right stats.
It's not that we are not willing to pay federal taxes. It's that we want our tax is properly spent on americans not foreigners, illegal aliens, corruption, and a slush funds.
Income taxes are a bad idea.
You always get less of something if you tax it. Always.
We should figure out what we want less of, and tax that.
No one wants less income.
