Please do it Mr President. Imagine how high the tariffs have to be. Close to like 50-80% maybe? On all imports. That’ll cut purchasing power so much.
And how effective will the tariff collection be compared to income tax? All the income tax workers will have to be transferred to customs. If the efficiency isn’t similar, then US Dollar might have issues.
And it is much easier as of right now to evade customs and tarrifs than income taxes. You can undervalue very easily.
And with exports of China shrinking because of tariffs they’ll be forced to increase domestic demand.
Trump really hates Amerikkka.
trump after meeting kim jong un have learned about self-sufficiency
Trump juche arc
the hamberder feast picture, but with banchan and bibimbap
Too bad he didn’t tell him about material conditions (or )
honestly cool i’ll love not paying taxes, not like the federal government does dick all for me with my money. If they wanna bomb iran they can pay for it, lmao
Nobody needs to tell me how taxes work or are necessary for a functioning state, I already know, I’ve played more victoria 3 than you scrubs, but we’re paying taxes and we don’t even get a functioning state out of it 🙄
Your money will end up worthless lmfao
So will this country, which is a good thing!
Critical support for trump destroying Amerikkka
Hell yeah, full support to the destruction of the US dollar
Accelerationist Trump is my favourite bit.

Trump’s out to instantly wither the state and have the ultimate claim that he beat the communists to the finish line
I’m wondering if he means a turnover tax, like the USSR (they and the DPRK abolished income tax)
turnover tax
They better not tax empanadas
Just the bad ones.

Taxing intermediate goods seems economically inefficient.
Do you think that economic efficiency is the most important outcome of tax policy?
Yes, though other considerations such as practicality affect what’s most efficient; a perfectly ideal system isn’t the most efficient if there’s no means or political will to implement it.
Why shouldn’t it be? There are other ways to control inequality for a socialist state (since they control wages). All taxes (and rent, interest, profit) in a country are ultimately paid out on nation’s labor. Taxing wages directly is the most sensible way of levying taxes as it doesn’t have the risk of distorting the economy in unexpected/unwanted ways, and you can use progressive income taxes to readjust inequality.

?
Both the ussr and dprk control all/most firms in the economy. If they think that there is too much inequality in the existing wage structure, they can easily change it. As an example, the Chinese government implemented a salary limit on super high income earners in the state owned finance sector.
This is hilarious, please do it mr trump, it would be very funny and a very good idea!
he doubled down on this statement by literally saying “yeah, sure, why not?” to joe rogan. america is a joke.
