That seems like an impractical dream. You'd have to retain some type of system to generate income otherwise how could you have a standing military? THAT you need! Maybe I am paranoid, but I really don't trust other countries and am willing to pay for certain things. Namely, a military first and foremost.
I would still want public roads maintained. I would want programs for the disabled. And benefits for injured veterans. And a reasonable educational program for children (not the bloated, money sucking, indoctrinating, failure they have now).
I want police. I want firemen. I want public parks maintained. I want streets to light up when it gets dark. I want clean water. I want my garbage picked up and the streets ploughed when it snows. I am sure there are other things I am not thinking of at the moment.
So maybe I don't want all taxes abolished? Maybe just set them at a reasonable level and not use them to line the pockets of crooked politicians?? Am I making sense?
Of course, and there is nothing that stops from taxing commerce. Tariffs. Sales taxes. Import and excise duties etc.
Once we get rid of expenses like tax to Fed, welfare, foreign aid, black ops, all kinds of liberal funding, most regulatory agencies etc, you will be cutting down spending by 90%.
Economy must be run with real production of value.
Government must spend on things of real value for people.
When we talk about abolishing income taxes, its the taxes on direct income. Money taken away from you purely because you worked hard and earned more than someone who did not.
Income tax = Theft of labour = Slavery.
Frankly, no.
