Don't get excited. What you pay in federal income taxes now would be carried over via some other new tax (or t*riffs). Until DDR nukes the welfare and regulatory states the government is going to need an ungodly amount of tax dollars to keep a bad deficit from becoming a crippling deficit.

I'd gladly pay double for my groceries if I didn't have to give up 30% of my income to the IRS. Seriously. The prices of the things I consooom aren't going to rise enough to offset the reduced taxes. It's a win for me.

It's more than offset by the reduction in your taxes. Either you consume too much or you pay very little taxes or both.

where is trump cutting the spending to make up for massive losses in government revenue?
what happens when the sales tax or whatever we add ends up eating a much larger portion of lower income peoples money than previous taxes ever did?

Social Security, Defense, and Medicare alone are more than the US's total income, letting go of a DEI office isn't gonna help

Alright mathletes, what percentage of your take home pay would you have to save in order to break even if your income tax is reduced from 30% to 0 and your expenses are doubled???
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
My expenses are limited to groceries, utilitiies, gas, and insurance. Even if those were doubled it would not even be 1/4th of the amount i pay in income tax because I'm not poor.
Were you taught math by a woman?

Not literally all of us live with our parents
Even if you paid off your house, your expenses would go up due to your property increasing as the value of your property exploding and thats the tea, sis
Thank you for admitting you cant do basic algebra though

I own my own house, property taxes here are neglible. they would have to raise it more than 60% to not be worth not having an income tax.
Just admit you are r-slurred and don't even know what algrbra even is.
