End Federal Income Tax in favor of a National Sales Tax

So youre saying because i worked my ass off to learn a trade and became a journeyman in my field making great money the government can take more of money than the person who works at mcdonalds because they dont want to get a real job? No. Your penalizing people that work hard to better themselves.

Before Reagan ended the deduction, all consumer interest was tax deductible. The deduction should be restored. That would encourage consumer spending and lift the economy…

I DID read your post!! If you had read my reply, it was about deductions! It was not about people who don’t pay, & that has nothing to do with what I said!

This may benefit rich people over poor people. Poor people spend 100% of their income vs rich people who only spend a smaller percentage of their income.

The Fair Tax :slight_smile: I read this book 15 years ago. Its an amazing idea. The Fair Tax Book: Saying Goodbye to the Income Tax and the IRS , Neal Boortz and John Linder.

Disagree. Take look at other countries who have this. Their sales tax will get split off into a “luxury tax” the Bahamas has such a tax that is 100%. That is why any living outside of paradise island, such as, Nassau, is a shithole. No tax substituting for another tax. There should be NO tax. Period.

Or everyone pays the same percentage on income. Why do we penalize success!?

No taxes, TARIFFS!

Its been a while since i read the Fairtax book or looked at the 999 plan mentioned, but they all ( if i remember correctly ) had some sort of prebate that would go to low income households. https://fairtax.org/about/how-fairtax-works

Yes a national sales tax gets my vote. Our money we send to the IRS every year does not go to improvements to our country. I’m told it goes to a private trust in Puerto Rico

I want to know more about tariffs as President Trump proposed to implement and end taxation as we know it. What country(ies) use tariffs as their main source of funding?

Either method sounds fine. Just don’t tax me both ways!

Has he directly stated that the tariffs are a means to remove income tax? I like the idea, but I don’t necessarily believe that it will execute that way.

Big surprise that a tax professional would not want VAT ! Everybody would then be forced to chip in, and have skin in the game. People who pay no taxes and have no skin in the game, should not be allowed to vote.

How do you propose to fund our military?

Agreed. It is already taxed at the time of a sale.

:100: agree. Home owners should not be penalized and non-home owners should have skin in the game.

I can’t click this hard enough. We all know federal income tax is unconstitutional and we also know that the tax just goes to line the pockets of these oligards

As a small business owner I am required to submit employees’ withholding, fica taxes, but also I have to match all employees give taxes as well. This is so unfair to the small business owners and why are we expected to pay this tax again when the employees have already paid it?

Get rid of the federal income tax. The taxes for the federal government should be passed up from each state. Each state would send up a percentage of state revenue on to the federal government. This would end the need for the IRS, or drastically reduce its need, as they would no longer have to cover every citizen, just 50 states.
