Trump flirts with no income taxes - New York Times

[jaded]

Watched a short podcast where Trump's private philanthropy got 'outted". Turns out he privately is quite generous to regular employees, not the suits, and his suppliers employees when things have cropped up. 

Anyhoos
The interviewer asked him if he'd ever considered not taxing military paychecks? That the ones doing the actual fighting should just be able to keep the pay they were earning. Trump was honestly surprised. No one, NONE had ever asked him this. You could actually see his mind working as he instantly knew this interviewer had pointed out a knowledge gap in his advisors/team while he was also running numbers in his head. 

I can only guess how uncomfortable his next staff meeting was going to be. It was the very first time I'd seen Trump being himself as he was just working. I've had bad bosses & good bosses an Trump defaulted right into "good working boss mode" instantly. Never saw that coming!!
The podcast was "something or other" with Tyrus some prize fighter?

VERY LIBERTARIAN POSITION!

I'd like to see a good study done on this.

We could save a fortune with the IRS shutting down and everyone would be glad that the headache of annual federal tax returns is gone.  It is too complicated even for the average person to be filling out.

The study is already done. This is how it used to be here in the USA. Trump talks about it here at 10:18

Trump on JRE last night:

Rogan- “Did you just float out the idea of getting rid of income taxes and replacing them with tariffs? Were you serious about that?”

Trump- “Yea, sure.”

He’s still flirting with no income tax as of today’s rally in Las Vegas: Twitter video

Trump asks the crowd…

How about no tax? (Yuge Smile!)

“We could do that. You know if the tariffs work out, a thing like that could happen if you wanna know the truth.”

He then tells the world that in 1870, we didn’t have income taxes… all the way up til 1913.

What happened in 1913?

I watched it live, basically he said the most prosperous time is when we had external tariffs and no income tax. He’s going to implement tariffs and see if we can’t get rid of income tax.

suggesting he’s looking at it, more than directly saying he’s going to do it…

He also said (maybe as a joke, or maybe hinting as a way to get them to quit) that he’s going to send all the armed irs agents down to the border cause they have guns and they like their guns.

If we go back to apportionment, we should do it based on land area so that Canada and Greenland have to pay their fair share.

Update:

Trump says it again! Twitter link

PRESIDENT TRUMP: "It's time for the United States to return to the system that made us richer and more powerful than ever before... Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens."

So, hypothethically, the average US citizen has their wealth increased en-mass via tax cuts or whatever..  what happens next?

Are we all buying Lambo's or is a package of precut spinach now costing 8.99?

Cause...Effect.

Has anyone considered what will happen to the cost of basics once the immigration stuff gets rolling?   Who's going to suffer?   Honest question y'all

Petroleum is used for food in many ways.
1. Fertilizer
2. Farm equipment
3. Transportation.
4. Packaging 

lower oil/gas prices all these become negative inflationary… prices go down.

Illegals are using massive amounts of government monies. These go away you have less funds needed…

You have millions leaving the country housing costs will drop as suddenly we have million more housing available than is being use.. 

many illegals don’t have insurance and drive insurance prices up. When they leave prices drop

all these are negative inflationary… prices go down
