The former president has vowed to broadly impose tariffs, arguing they can generate trillions of dollars in revenue.(11-06-2024, 02:25 PM)jetpilot Wrote:I didn't think so. I listened to a lot of Trump's speeches and I definitely would have remembered a promise to eliminate the federal income tax.(11-06-2024, 02:21 PM)Hoot Gibson Wrote:(11-06-2024, 01:59 PM)SEKYFAN Wrote: 1.

6. Tariffs
7. Bring SALT back.
8. Eliminate the Dept of Education

How many of these can he keep?
He didn't and the list is ridiculously over-simplistic.
I don't vote for promises. I vote for accomplishments that I liked. Trump had many and Kamala has none. It was a very easy choice. I look forward to seeing Kamala certify the electors.
Speaking with barbers in the Bronx, New York, in a segment aired on Fox News on Monday, Trump said, “There is a way, if what I’m planning comes out.”
A few days later, podcaster Joe Rogan asked Trump whether he was serious about replacing federal income taxes with tariffs.
“Yeah, sure, why not?” Trump said during his interview Friday on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
