WATCH: President Trump AGAIN Says Tariffs Can Replace Federal Income Tax!
I keep telling you folks, I Trump gets his way and I think he will, Federal Income Tax is going away!
He’s telling you point blank that it’s not only possible, it’s been done before.
And it’s going to be done again.
Can you imagine how much this country would boom if Federal Income Tax went away?
Even if it was replaced by Tariffs plus a form of National Sales Tax, that would be a tremendous win.
For all the people who hate “the Rich” just implement a flat National Sales Tax and exclude necessities like food, medicine and rent, and you’ve got the perfect system!
If someone is “rich” and wants to spend more on luxury items, let them!
For everyone else, no tax on necessities and then only get taxed on what you choose to spend after that.
Super fair.
Anyway, watch this clip where President Trump tells you it’s coming:

TRANSCRIPT:
You’re talking about how historic these tariffs have been, bringing in revenue, additional revenue for our country.
You’ve also mentioned before they could possibly replace federal income tax. Possibly. Do you think, do you think that’s true?
Some day it’s possible. It used to be. So if you go back to, uh, 1913 is when they ended tariffs, we were the richest ever from 1850.
It was all tariffs, we didn’t have income taxes from 1850 to 1913.
In the, uh, 1887s, about 1887, they had the great National Tariff Act, and it was a group of people that got together because our country was so rich they didn’t know what to do with the money.
We had so much money they didn’t know what to do.
It was a group of, uh, very prominent people that were set up to hand out money to everybody because we were the richest we ever were.
Proportionately we were in 1887, around that time, even in 1913, uh, we ended them in 1913. How did that work out?
And then we went to the income tax system, and then we had the Depression.
And by the way, a lot of people try and say that, “Oh, tariffs with the Depres-” No.
They ended in 1913 and then we went to income tax and then in 1929 you had the Depression.
They did try and bring it back in 1931/’32 but the Depression had long started and, uh, and this poor beautiful nation was gone.
It was gone.
We suffered for 25 years, took 25, 30 years to really recover from the Depression.
Uh, and we don’t ever want to see that happen again.
Uh, the tariffs are vital to the success of this country.
When I say I ended 7 wars, at least half of those wars were ended because of the power of tariffs.
But did you catch the bolded part?
Did you catch that Tariffs went away and Federal Income Tax was implement all in the same year — 1913?
Quite a coincidence, don’t you think?
Folks, these people hate America.
The enemy is not outside, the enemy is within, and they have been trying to crash American since at least 1913.
Check out these historical FACTS:
The federal income tax in the United States was first implemented in 1913 after the ratification of the 16th Amendmentto the Constitution.
Here’s the timeline:
1861 – During the Civil War, Congress created a temporary income tax to raise revenue, but it was repealed in 1872.
1894 – Congress passed another income tax, but the Supreme Court struck it down in 1895 (Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co.), ruling it unconstitutional because it was a “direct tax” not apportioned among the states.
1913 – The 16th Amendment was ratified, explicitly giving Congress the power to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states. Later that year, Congress passed the Revenue Act of 1913, officially implementing the modern federal income tax.
Before 1913: Tariffs and Excise Taxes
For most of U.S. history before 1913, the federal government was funded almost entirely by tariffs (import duties) and excise taxes on things like alcohol and tobacco.
Income tax was seen as radical, and tariffs were defended as both revenue-raising and protection for American industry.
The Shift in 1913
The Revenue Act of 1913 (signed by President Woodrow Wilson) did two major things at once:
Re-imposed the federal income tax (after the 16th Amendment).
Substantially reduced tariffs, cutting average rates from about 40% down to about 25%.
Why It Happened Together
Tariffs were criticized for raising prices on consumers and favoring big corporations. Progressives argued they were an unfair, regressive way to fund government.
An income tax was seen as “fairer,” because it targeted wealthier individuals directly.
So, when Congress lowered tariffs (thus slashing government revenue), they needed a new stable revenue source— the income tax came in as the replacement.
The Broader Context
This shift in 1913 marked the fundamental reordering of U.S. government finance.
From that point on, income tax became the primary source of federal revenue, while tariffs became secondary.
So it wasn’t just an “odd coincidence” — the income tax was introduced because tariffs were cut back. One was designed to replace the other.
