See: Trump Wants To Eliminate Income Taxes: 5 Ways This Could Impact Your Salary in 2025
February 22, 2025
"During President Donald Trumpās successful campaign bid last year, he proposed eliminating individual income taxes for all Americans and paying for the lost revenue by increasing import tariffs."
Well, if Trump is really sincere in wanting to do that, perhaps he ought to support The Fair Share Balanced Budget Amendment:
.
āSECTION 1. The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay any tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, sales, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money.
NOTE: these words would return us to our Constitutionās original tax plan as our Foundersā intended it to operate! They would also end the experiment with allowing Congress to lay and collect taxes calculated from lawfully earned āincomesā which now oppresses Americaās economic engine and robs the bread which working people have earned when selling the property each has in their own labor, not to mention the amendment would end federal taxation being used as a political weapon to harass and attack political opponents!
āSECTION 2. Congress ought not raise money by borrowing, but when the money arising from imposts duties and excise taxes are insufficient to meet the public exigencies, and Congress has raised money by borrowing during the course of a fiscal year, Congress shall then lay a direct tax at the beginning of the next fiscal year for an amount sufficient to extinguish the preceding fiscal yearās deficit, and apply the revenue so raised to extinguishing said deficit.ā
NOTE: Congress is to raise its primary revenue from imposts and duties, [taxes at our waterās edge], and may also lay miscellaneous internal excise taxes on specifically chosen articles of consumption [preferably articles of luxury]. But if Congress borrows and spends more than is brought in from imposts, duties and miscellaneous excise taxes during the course of a fiscal year, then, and only then, is the direct apportioned tax to be laid in order to balance the budget on an annual basis.
āSECTION 3. When Congress is required to lay a direct tax in accordance with Section 1 of this Article, the Secretary of the United States Treasury shall, in a timely manner, calculate each Stateās apportioned share of the total sum being raised by the agreed upon apportionment formula found in our Constitution, and then provide the various State Congressional Delegations with a Bill notifying their Stateās Executive and Legislature of its share of the total tax being collected as done on July 14th, 1798 LINK (at the link enter 62 in the box at the top of the page and then press enter on your keyboare), and a final date by which said tax shall be paid into the United States Treasury.ā
NOTE: our founderās fair share formula to extinguish an annual deficit is:
Statesā population
---------------------------- X SUM TO BE RAISED = STATEāS FAIR SHARE OF DIRECT TAX
Total U.S. Population
The above formula, as intended by our founding fathers, is to ensure that each stateās share towards extinguishing an annual deficit is proportionately equal to its representation in Congress, i.e., representation with a proportional financial obligation! And if the tax is laid directly upon the people by Congress, then every taxpayer across the United States would pay the exact same amount!
Note also that each Stateās number or Representatives, under our Constitution is likewise determined by the rule of apportionment:
State`s Pop.
------------------- X House size (435) = State`s No. of Representatives
U.S. Pop.
āSECTION 4. Each State shall be free to assume and pay its quota of the direct tax into the United States Treasury by a final date set by Congress, but if any State shall refuse or neglect to pay its quota, then Congress shall send forth its officers to assess and levy such Stateās proportion against the real property within the State with interest thereon at the rate of ((?)) per cent per annum, and against the individual owners of the taxable property. Provision shall be made for a 15% discount for those States paying their share by ((?))of the fiscal year in which the tax is laid, and a 10% discount for States paying by the final date set by Congress, such discount being to defray the Statesā cost of collection.ā
NOTE: This section respects the Tenth Amendment and allows each state to raise its share in its own chosen way in a time period set by Congress, but also allows the federal government to enter a state and collect the tax if a state is delinquent in meeting its obligation.
"SECTION 5. This Amendment to the Constitution, when ratified by the required number of States, shall take effect no later than (?) years after the required number of States have ratified it.
