Just like I told you he would - because it's right there in the Project 2025 handbook.

The Orange Dumbnuts says he will tariff the rest of the world to save his billionaire cronies from paying income tax.

Trump proposes income tax abolition, stirs economic debate

Donald Trump proposed abolishing the federal income tax, aiming to restore the USA to its wealthiest period. This idea has sparked mixed reactions among economists and market experts.

During a conference in Doral, Florida, Donald Trump presented his controversial plan to abolish federal income tax. According to "Fox Business," the US President argues that instead of taxing citizens, the country should focus on tariffs, which will enrich Americans.

Trump noted that between 1870-1913, the United States relied mainly on tariffs, which made it the wealthiest country in the world. The proposal includes creating a new agency to handle revenue collection from tariffs.

However, experts such as Erica York from the Tax Foundation warn that tariffs may burden importers, which will negatively affect the US economy.

The idea not unequivocally accepted
Trump's idea has met with various opinions. Kenny Polcari from Slatestone Wealth believes that abolishing the income tax and introducing tariffs could stimulate the economy. On the other hand, Taylor Riggs from "The Big Money Show" emphasizes that the volatility of tariffs could make planning difficult for companies.

Trump also announced the possibility of imposing high tariffs on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico.

The tariffs are paid for by the people who buy the goods. This will shift tax burden to the poorer folk.
USA became even wealthier w income tax. Also got a middle class out of the deal, helped by organized Labour.

The gilded age (aka the robber baron age) that Trump has fallen in love with had no govt oversight and companies sold canned good w formaldehyde and kids worked in the mines for pennies and life expectancy sucked. Teddy Roosevelt saw how this was destroying average Americans so he busted up the trusts and formed the FDA to make sure American companies could not continue to poison Americans, among other things.
Also, there were not roads, airports, electrical grids, water treatment etc to support either. National defence was a very small standing Army. No Tanks, airplanes, satellites, etc. Many major public works funded by the billionaires of the day, not the populace.
Off the top of my head.
