It's Trump's brainless idea to get rid of income taxes. Tarrifs on everything then his election promises of no tax on tips, social security, etc can be achieved. Too bad for the little guy, though. Everything they buy will cost much more and overall their standard of living will drop. The millionaire/billionaire class will do much better as their investments will be tax free and only what they consume will cost more. Think of it as a consumption tax, benefits the rich snd screws the poor.
