What you are shown: "We are ending the income tax". What is happening: "We won't spend less, we'll just raise your taxes somewhere else". This is what Trump is working to end, politics for personal gain, not the American citizens.
An income tax is unavoidable, puts the the taxing out of my control.
A sales tax IS avoidable, taxing back in my hands.
If they're stealing it direct from my paycheck, I'm fucked. But if they're taxing something like groceries, I decide whether I buy hambuger or steak, and the resultant tax is a result of my decision.
With proper planning, (and storage), you can also avoid a lot of the sales taxes out there, via annual 'tax holidays' (back to school sales), farmer's markets, even driving across state/county lines.
