Being that economics and awareness is not your strong suit maybe consider staying quiet and unnoticeable might help you better

More government jobs? For every government job created with this plan, he needs to cut 2 from the IRS.

Not an argument. But considering that Biden provided funding to turn the IRS into an army, I would say that "2" is entirely too low.

I was thinking the same. Just don't know the actual numbers needed for the External Revenue Service.

If he is really going to do this, it'll just shift jobs from Border Patrol (who currently administers tariff and duty collection).

Yeah.

Cause they don't already get taxed.

The external revenue service can start with taxing remittances 10% to foreign countries, especially Central and South American countries.

I guess. Basically a rebrand of a division of another agency. Cool.

I love the idea, but will it make my IRS bill go down? That's what I want to see, not hear.

Yes, they actually do. In the case of an untaxed trade deficit, they simply pocket the unassessed profits.

Meh. The agency that collects tariffs is already under Treasury. It will really be more a renaming than anything. Mostly rhetorical, but not a big deal either way.
