I don’t see why not, if you printing/borrowing 3 trillion a year every year with no intention of paying it back; why do you need my money, just print or borrow a bit more.

What do all the people who have posted on this board time and time again about how "everyone should pay at least some taxes so everyone has skin in the game" say about this?

Should they not vote as has also been suggested?

It's pretty simple really. Either we are all subject to taxes or we aren't. There's no reason the dregs of society should benefit from my family's contribution to the IRS.

Either eliminate the taxes or eliminate the leeches.

How stupid are you?

If we're going to collect taxes, everyone should pay.

Obviously, not collecting taxes at all is better and just as equal.

I mean… he’s sorta not wrong. Since the top 10% pay 75% of the taxes, Ignoring our deficit spending, a 25% reduction in spending could mean only a select few pay all of the taxes. The Leftists would be orgasmic.

Of course, our deficits have already doomed us, and no one is actually going to cut spending so… it’s a silly notion. It does illustrate what a great deal the “middle class” has been getting, tho.

I've already outlined this. Better late than never, Trump.

Assuming Trump is talking about tariffs - the nation and the world are different than back in the era when tariffs funded the government. A consumption tax would be far more stable and preserve all the leverage in foreign relations with regard to people and goods entering the country.

Wait!
You cannot have it both ways. On the one hand you skyscream about tariffs being a tax on American consumers. Now you skyscream about no one being taxed.

Are you dense, are you so eaten with TDS you've lost ability to cogitate, or are you just trolling?

That he should say whatever he can to help get himself elected, and that kamala voters don’t get to complain about policy accountability.

Funny how the Government is always warning about running out of money for Social Security, but never about running out of money for welfare.

So we aren't going to pay back the money that we took from your check by force your entire life, but we have plenty of money for illegals & people that have never worked a day in their lives.

I don't think Trump is going to abolish all the taxes we pay. And the board has been pretty unanimous about favoring a consumption tax (a tax everyone pays). Abolishing all federal taxes isn't an entire plan. I'd like to see his entire plan but my guess is there will be a higher tax on the consumption side.

And on another tangent, the IRS tax code is WAY too complicated. If you have any more than a standard W-2 income, you're taking a decent sized gamble unless you hire a CPA. There's no reason a tax code needs to be this complicated. I heard a comedian explain the way the IRS works recently that put it in perspective. The IRS makes you determine how much you owe them, send it to them, then they say whether that "sounds" right, and if not, you can be penalized and fined into oblivion.

As long as anyone has to pay federal income tax, everyone should have to. We're in this fix, in part, because a shitton of people don't and, therefore, don't give a shite about spending or tax policies.

I can’t believe you people buy into all this pandering bs. Why not just vote for Vernon Supreme who will use unicorns on treadmills to replace coal burning power plants. Also, I’ve got some oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you all.

You would probably complain if Trump made weekly blowjobs mandatory.

They can’t put that toothpaste back in the tube. Every one I know ask this question.
