Wharfie, I love how MAGA wants to eliminate the IRS.

How are they going to collect taxes if there are no tax collectors?

Understood. People will still have income either from work or from the government for whatever reason.

But it's how much tax they pay on that income from whatever source. The proposed system automatically makes the rich pay more. No escape unless they move their transactions overseas, and that can be monitored. The arithmetic is not that difficult.
