The next is this. Forget the legality or illegality of congress’s ability to tax American individuals doing business only within the US. Set that argument aside.

Consider this. If the federal income tax for American individuals (citizens) earning income soley within the US were eliminated, how would you personally be affected? And do you fear this action could harm you and/or others? If so why?

Just curious to know where you are coming from on this issue
since you seem to be protective of the federal personal income tax.
