RE: Tariffs Are Awful, but the Income Tax May Be Worse
It is likely that the Democrats will gain another super majority after the Trump presidency. When that happens we will have both really high income tax and high tariffs.
The one advantage of the income tax is that voters actually see the tax that they pay. People are less critical of taxes that they don't see. For example, people are less critical of inflation than direct taxes. They are seduced by the free stuff that comes from the government while the government devalues the currency.
