It's a longstanding dream of the parasite oligarch class to get rid of the income tax and replace it with a consumption tax. Because they know they can't pass the highly regressive flat tax, they want to enact highly regressive tariffs. Reducing the income tax on lower earners is just another step in destroying the IRS. Any tax cut for lower earners will not cover the costs to them of the tariffs.

I hate these people.
