Trump Proposes Eliminating Federal Income Tax

Former President Donald Trump has reignited discussions around the abolition of the federal income tax, suggesting a return to a tariff-based economic system that he claims enriched the nation from 1870 to 1913. During a House Republican Members Conference, he argued that such a move would boost disposable income for Americans and allow the country to tax foreign nations instead. Trump's proposal has garnered mixed reactions on social media, with many supporters praising the idea while others express skepticism about its feasibility. He emphasized the historical success of tariffs as a justification for his radical economic shift. The discussion highlights ongoing divides in public opinion regarding taxation and economic strategy in the U.S.
