I'm disappointed because Trump said that he'd replace the IRS with the ERS, which would be very progressive, because that would encourage folks to buy domestic products, and folks could avoid the tariffs by doing so. Getting rid of the taxes on wages would be extremely progressive, so dumping the IRS for the ERS would be good for the wage earners of America.
But that's not what's happening. Now we are getting screwed in both directions, and that is not at all progressive, but very regressive. I do not approve.
I suspect rhetoric and the flurry of policy actions will slow dramaticaly within the next few weeks. Hopefully he will also begin to listen to more sober voices.
