Taxation was meant to be indirect taxation...on things other than necessities and definitely NOT on income or property (direct taxation--unconstitutional). Also, like President Trump, the early Presidents used tariffs and did quite well for their expenses. Another thing to remember, government at ALL levels is hugely bloated and MUST be drastically shrunk. Those people need to get real jobs, not being parasites on those who work.
