 Why do we have income taxes if they are just going to print the money? 
 Unfortunately it'll never happen. 🫤
 
 No doubt, the thieves cannot be stopped by the ballot box. It takes another box to put them down 
 The fact that this is being floated as a policy is mind blowing to me 
 100%.

Perhaps the Overton Window is shifting, but?

Perhaps I'm thinking too small but I don't see income taxes being repealed.  There's just too much easy theft and control that they provide to the tyrants. 
 The humiliation ritual is strong with our owners 
 How radical keep are 100% income. 
 I will vote for anyone that will at least try to get rid of income taxes… 

A national sales tax is a much better idea 

Want to actually tax the rich, sales tax!

Just make raw food and housing up to the national average annual expense exempt and you have an almost perfect progressive tax plan that doesn’t touch the most impoverished. 

Oh you may need to tax a few things that are purchased by U.S. rich folks (because they have enough money borders don’t matter) in other countries to avoid the tax but they can shoulder that burden… not to mention it is easier to track several thousand people than several million…
