How does a Tariff trickle down to local municipalities?
You would essentially be taking money away from your local officials your town voted for and giving it to bureaucrats and politicians in washington that mega cities control.
Sales tax. Which is the same as a tariff but with reverse mechanics.
Either way, consumption taxes are fine, as long as they're reasonable, they're typically non-discriminatory, and are progressive in that those who spend more pay more of them which are only those who have enough to spend in the first place.
Since they typically exclude food and other necessities they're about as fair as they can get and they require the government to ensure that a functioning marketplace with enforced laws exists if they want their cut. They get nothing "off the top" only "off the bottom."
This is all to say, every other tax is a robbery, and only enables the worst of government, particularly at the federal level, and should absolutely be abolished.
We dont do it by threatening to take away the property that I have spent 50 years building and paying for, shedding blood, sweat and tears to accomplish it. I built this house and every outbuilding with my own hands. I took 40 acres of woods, swamp and meadows and turned it into something productive. And every improvement I make they want more $$. Ive spent a couple million dollars paying for it. But they can take it on a whim? Fuck off.
Most fire departments are volunteer. Private toll roads have been a thing since the beginning of this country. Insurance covers emergencies. Most cities don't cover trash pickup. Water and sewer are also typically not covered.
You should pay for your own school. Look at what each state spends on education and what their outcomes are. If you don't participate as a purchaser in the market the results are horrific. If we gave you that money back in taxes you'd easily be able to afford what a functioning private school market would allow for.
Most hospitals are private. Health insurance can pay for more than just emergency room care. Look at Kaiser, which current sucks as a provider, but not because of their model.
Municipalities can charge directly for whatever services they think they need to provide. Which should be few and could ideally be covered by a simple sales tax. Sheriff's are really there to serve paperwork and handle warrants, which they can charge appropriately for, and the pressure will be on them to size their staff to the actual size of the problems they typically face.
Govt should have to ASK people to pay for common-good type stuff. Like in church, money is not EXTRACTED from you upon entering. You get to give money, a love offering, of any amount you wish.
Some give more, and some give less. Those who give more love tend to get more in return.
If govt would, instead of stealing the money before we ever see it, have to make a CASE for why we should give, and appeal to human nature to want to give of our resources, then people could give as much as they want. And there would be more than could ever be used. There would be extra to share with others.
The way life could have been, if the bad people weren't in charge.
How do we fund Fire, Roads, emergency and waste management? Schools, hospitals and municipalities?
Tariffs.
And if our govt officials were honest, actually spent money properly…it shouldn’t be a problem

In Alabama, we pay tax on everything, including food.
