re: Trump believes there is a way to abolish all federal taxes

He does not have a plan.

“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face”

GHWBush had a plan ... "no new taxes." It enabled hostile factions to form a cohesive opposition making enactment virtually impossible. When they successfully undercut the GHWB plan, they molded it into a huge victory. In a scenario where Trump enters the WH with a detailed plan, the opposition will do the same.

To understand the extent of the derangement, a derangement backed and wholly supported by the PPP, look no further than reaction to RFK's concerns about food additives --- always a leftist position in the past.

Suddenly with RFK's Trump alliance, Time Magazine, a consistent screaming crisis source against processed foods over the years, ran a story titled "Dietitian is Speaking Up for ‘Ultra-Processed’ Foods."

It's what the left does. A plan is a target, regardless of merit.

Why provide the target?

Pander or b.s.? The American people deserve a President that understands the difference. I'm not sure either is aware that they are one in the same. Only difference is that since Trump is transactional and naturally reflexive he can say that everyone knows he was full of shite at the time. Whereas The Ugandan Mistress has no clue that what she says in b.s.

We pay sales tax.
Pay ad valorem tax.
Pay property tax.
Some pay state tax.
Some pay grocery tax.
Pay additional tax on vices.
Pay gas tax.
Pay estate taxes.
Pay hospitality taxes.
Pay user fee taxes.
Pay tax on everything.

No federal tax, I think we still have skin in the game. More damn skin than Buffalo Bill.

This is facism. Need to vote for the tax cut for one hundred million. ?Am I one them

we just want to be like you and pay no taxes

Get rid of it all.

nd on another tangent, the IRS tax code is WAY too complicated.

In what way(s)? The Feds are never abolishing the income tax. Congress's primary social engineering tool is via the tax code.

Keeping coping tho.

f you have any more than a standard W-2 income, you're taking a decent sized gamble unless you hire a CPA.

Depends. If you are decently intelligent and organized and have a Schedule C business you can likely do it yourself.

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.

This is only partially true. The Feds have a good idea of the income for W-2s Andys. However the IRS has no clue about donations, medical expenses, sIde income.

Additionally for corporations and partnerships the IRS has no idea was deductions you have or credit(s) you may qualify for.

Could the process be "simplified"? Sure. However people would start screaming and malding that the Feds "have too much info" and MuH pRiVaCy...

Progressive corporate tax rate brackets based on gross revenue and number of employees. 5%, 10%, 15% in order to help small businesses

How do you define "small business"?

15% gross revenue tax? That's quite aggressive and will chase away capital....

They naively think inocme tax will be replaced with tariffs. It won't:

Now @realDonaldTrump is advocating eliminating the income tax completely and replacing it with tariffs, which was how the federal government was funded prior to 1913. In fact, the 16th Amendment was ratified precisely to replace tariffs on the middle class with income taxes on the rich. However, in 1913, the federal government spent less than 2% of GDP. Today it spends over 24% of GDP. It's impossible to fund the massive federal government we have now with the indirect tax system we had then. If Trump wants to return to the tax system we had prior to 1913, he would need to eliminate all the government programs enacted since then. That would really make America great again.

So yes, it would be AMAZING to reduce government back to that size, no president can do that without a LOT of help from Congress. The idea that Congress would come anywhere near shrinking the government by that amount is... silly. And ultimately, the american people would howl and scream bloody murder if you took that much away from them. They are fully hooked.
