Trump Recalls U.S. Era Without Income Tax in Congress Speech
Donald Trump, speaking before Congress, referenced the period in American history before the federal income tax was introduced, using it to argue for a different approach to taxation. The remarks drew attention because the pre-1913 system relied heavily on tariffs, a policy direction Trump has promoted. Commenters debated the practicality of funding the modern government without income taxes.
Why now: Trump's speech revived debate over replacing income tax with tariff-based revenue
