MADMAN Or Stable Genius: Trump’s ‘EXTERNAL Revenue Service’ Idea

Trump's taking aim at opportunists who fleece America while offering nothing in return

Everyone hates the IRS because they want to take OUR money to spend it on government priorities, many of them wasteful and offensive to ordinary Americans.

But what if Americans could share the burden of funding our behemoth government with all the other countries that benefit from what our economy produces?

That’s a whole other spin on ‘paying a fair share’ that the left doesn’t even have context for yet. That means Trump gets to frame the original argument in his own terms, and not whatever talking points a hostile leftist think tank feeds to their media lackeys.

Here is Trump’s proposal in his own words, as posted on Truth Social:

For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves. It is time for that to change. I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources. We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The argument on one side will be that the end consumer will just end up paying more for everything.

The argument on the other side will be that places like China have been fleecing us with artificially low prices producing items made with stolen IP which together are designed to cripple our own manufacturing base, create Western dependency on their supply chains, and not only give them leverage over us, but bankroll all of the other hostile acts taken against us, from cyber intrusions, to spy networks, to funding subversive politics, to corrupting Western own leaders of politics, industry, learning, and culture against our own interests.

Remember how Milley had a back-channel to China in case Trump made any orders Milley didn’t like? Yeah. THAT kind of influence. And anyone else who might be bought, BS’d, bullied, or blackmailed into betraying the national interests. *cough* Biden *cough*

It’s an interesting idea.

Like most of his out-of-the-box thinking, it’s controversial. But he’s looking back to something that worked in the literal ‘gilded age’ of American innovation… a time before the Income Tax and he’s asking us to ponder those powerful little words ‘what if…’?

And could he be setting up an end to the income tax altogether? That would be a massive game-changer and incentivize American business in ways never seen in living memory.

Pair that with cheap and plentiful energy that Trump wants to unleash with ‘drill baby drill’ and building new nuclear plants and the potential upside is nearly endless.
