Personally, I don't understand it. With Trump promising to get rid of the Federal income tax, I would think that everybody would vote for Trump, love him or hate him. Do people really love taxation that much? Or haven't they heard this Trump promise?

Not everyone shares your gullibility, BD. Trump will replace those taxes with tariffs, which is a basic flat tax no matter your income.

Tariffs only hurt if you are buying foreign made goods. It'll hurt temporarily because most of our non-food items are made over seas, but it incentivizes domestic production. That's only reasonable. Any rational person would want as many items produced in his own country as possible. It helps their own society, keeps their countrymen employed, and reduces dependency on foreign made essentials. The Covid pandemic taught us about those risks.

I'm voting for Trump because he is the only one who seems to care about the interests of the American people. He was the first president in decades to not start a new war, or encourage our involvement in other people's wars. And I hope he stops all foreign aid, including Ukraine and Israel. Our national debt is out of control and we can't afford any more. We need that money here to fix so many of our own problems.
