US President donald trump emphasized that eliminating the income tax for Americans will increase people's and families' discretionary income. trump characterized the action as a measure that increased America's wealth and a return to traditional American methods that fueled national success.
"It’s time for the united states to return to the system that made us richer and more powerful than ever before…," he stated on Monday.
In addition, the US president declared that he would replace income tax with universal import taxes.
"We ought to tax other countries to benefit our citizens rather than taxing our folks to benefit other countries. Massive sums of money from overseas sources will be flooding our coffers," trump continued.
He pointed out that when a tariff-based economic system was in effect, the US was the richest country from 1870 to 1913. trump claimed that the revenue gap from his planned income tax cuts would be partially compensated by import tariffs.
What does the proposal include?
Trump's plan calls for imposing tariffs on imported products in place of income taxes, which are a significant source of federal funding.
In addition, trump said that his administration would establish a new agency called the External Revenue Service, which would be in charge of overseeing tariffs and associated income.
The initiative has drawn criticism as well as praise. Because of rising import prices, economists have cautioned about possible inflationary pressures and persistently high interest rates.
Additionally, congress has resisted it, with members voicing worries about possible deficits and implementation challenges.
Trump, however, emphasized his dedication to putting American workers and families first. He said that in order to safeguard American interests, "We will immediately begin overhauling our trade system."
