    Someone did the math and realized we would need a 130% tariff on all goods to replace current income tax revenue.

    People’s number one concern is inflation. If that tariff is created we will see 100% inflation over night!

      And probably didn’t take into account that actually the tariff would need to be even higher since imports would drop drastically from the current amount.
