     I see this as the first step to eliminating the income tax.

     @ILoveAmericaNews I'm not so enthusiastic. The promise was to reduce government. I wouldn't mind seeing just the slightest bit of swamp *draining* before he starts adding brand new bureaucracies to it.

     @Zeb

     Really stupid post

     Tariffs are corporate taxes on foreign corporations.

     I wonder if dipshits like you realize that you're just making an argument against all corporate taxes.

     @ILoveAmericaNews Foreigners can't pay tariffs, duties or taxes. Those by definition can only be levied against your own side of commercial transactions.

     The best you can do is extort tribute from them by force, very similar to how other empires (or atilla the hun) did. I 100% support the US demanding tributes from everyone.

     @ryan

     If the goal is to eliminate the IRS, there has to be something else in place first.

     @ILoveAmericaNews That would indeed be a good outcome. But that's not what was announced, and I see insufficient evidence that this slope is slippery enough to make it happen.
     
     I've seen how often "first steps" don't make it as far as the last and most important step, and we all end off worse for the partial effort.
