🚨 Breaking Tax News... or Just a Wild Thought? 🚨 |
Imagine a world where federal income taxes vanish into thin air... poof! 💨 What if Uncle Sam stopped digging into your paycheck and instead started collecting from tariffs on imports? 🤔 Well, that's exactly what Trump is reportedly mulling over, calling it the "New Internal Revenue Service." 🛠️💼 💸 The impact? If this plan saw the light of day, the average household could potentially save between $7K to $10K a year! 🎉 (The top 1% would save a whole lot more—shocking, right? 😏) 📜 But wait! Did you know the U.S. didn't even have a federal income tax until 1913? Before that, tariffs did all the heavy lifting! Then came World War I, and tax rates skyrocketed like nobody’s business, reaching as high as 77%! 😳 🌍 What do other countries do? Places like the Bahamas and Bahrain keep it simple—no income tax, but they rake in revenue through things like oil and customs duties. Sounds like paradise... until you look at the fine print. 🏝️🧐 So, do you think ditching federal income taxes is a genius idea or just another political fantasy?
