Trump Floats Replacing Income Tax With Tariffs — Markets Watching 👀
Donald Trump suggested the U.S. could eventually eliminate federal income tax and rely mainly on tariff revenues.
Supporters say it could simplify the tax system and boost take-home pay. Critics warn it may raise consumer prices, disrupt global trade, and fail to replace the massive revenue generated by income taxes.
Historically, the U.S. relied on tariffs before 1913, but today’s economy is far more complex. If pursued, this would mark one of the biggest shifts in U.S. economic policy in modern history.
