It's hilarious to see tRump lovers clamoring for more taxes.

They seem to be motivated by a desire to "get" people they feel slighted by, don't they?
Not more, but replacements.

We require taxes in order to maintain infrastructure among other things.

I don't want more taxes, I want some taxes replaced by remittance taxes.

You need to get out of the more taxes mindset.

Without a system that is accurate or reliable internally,
a fee at point of transfer introduces a light but steady
stream of income and useable data.

I see. So you want less taxes on corporations and the wealthy, and more taxes on people you don't like. Calling it a replacement tax doesn't work for me. Call it a spite tax, or a revenge tax, or a butthurt tax, because I suspect that's all it is.

You guarantee that?

List the benefits and potential pitfalls, will you?

Give me the numbers.

Thanks!

Of course you do, because you think it will hurt people you don't like.

I love the way the small-government get-the-feds-off-my-back abolish-the-IRS crowd wants big government to punish people they don't like.

Perhaps they want a tax on dark skin while they're at it.
