RE: Tariffs Are Awful, but the Income Tax May Be Worse

in #economics11 days ago

If the tariff is designed to discourage consumers from buying imports and boost the US economy, why is taxing wages not seen as a discouragement from participating in the productive economy here as well?

Sort:  

Well it is certainly a discouragement from the point of view that you have less to participate with. Of course the government is participating for you.

The government actively violating every principle I hold dear? They do not represent me in the slightest. It's just a mafia with a flag.
