General Discussion

Income taxes raise over a trillion dollars in government revenue. Tariffs in 2025 raised about 170 billion so there will be a huge deficit. The defense budget is almost a trillion so where are they going to make the deficit up. Only way to do that is with a national sales tax which disproportionately hurt the middle class because more of a % of their income pays this tax and more fees for services on medicare/medicaid and etc.
