More meaningless words and empty posturing by an incompetent and feckless administration that has no credibility on anything. They are a complete joke in the world.

Another problem hosted by the income tax... our exports contain tax costs and our imports do not. That puts our goods at a big price disadvantage.

Wouldn’t it make sense to eliminate tax costs from our exports and make imports pay tax to access our markets?

The nrst excise does that. Eliminate income tax. Free manufacturing.
