Would Trump's Plan to Replace Income Tax with Tariffs Work?

from The Human Action Podcast · host Mises Institute

Bob analyzes President Trump's recent remarks praising the revenue capacity of tariffs. He shows that historically, tariffs only bought in a small fraction of what income taxes currently yield, meaning federal spending would have to be sharply cut in order to phase out the income tax.
