I have often written in these spaces that once government gets its hands on something who they will very seldom let it go.
Donald Trump has suggested that the income tax should go. Remember, it was never supposed to be anything more than a temporary tax to cover the cost of the first world war.
Such was the fiscal solution imposed by the racist socialist and indeed worthless Woodrow Wilson. Or was it his wife? (Okay, that’s another matter.)
If there’s anyone who has a chance of eliminating the federal income tax, it’s Donald Trump. Indeed as I said earlier today, it’s beginning to look like eliminating the grift as DOGE has been attempting to do, we stand a pretty good shot at it.
Actually accomplishing this feat given the resistance that it is bound to get from the Democrats and from the never Trump Republicans, but I repeat myself, means that it is going to be as difficult as the moonshot was.
I have also often indicated that we don’t have a taxing problem, we have a spending problem. Which by the way is the answer to the question if the income tax goes bye-bye, how do we fund the government initiatives? The answer of course is we don’t.
Government will be severely curtailed and that is always a good thing. Always. Star Trek fans will understand the illusion, that government is like tribbles. Feed them more money, you get more government.
It’s long past time for us to put government back into its constitutional box. Personally, I applaud and he moved to that end. Usaid seems a good place to start.
