updates: The article discusses the suggestion made by Donald Trump to replace the progressive income tax with tariffs, which would take the United States economy back to the 1800s. The article highlights that eliminating the income tax and relying on tariffs would result in a significant tax increase on the lower and middle-income classes. It also mentions that the income tax has become less progressive at the high end but more progressive at the low end over the past four decades. The article explores the conservative preference for a flat tax or collapsing the existing tax brackets to make the tax code more regressive. It provides historical context on the introduction of the income tax and the role of tariffs in the United States, including the resistance to high tariffs during the Populist movement. The article emphasizes that tariffs are regressive taxes and impose a greater burden on the bottom 10 percent of income earners. It concludes that relying on tariffs as a source of revenue in the modern age is impractical and would result in significant tax hikes for lower-income individuals.

updates: The article introduces a new proposal called the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, which offsets a portion of a taxpayer's state and local taxes with a reduction in federal taxes. It mentions H.R. 7160, the 'SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act,' which would raise the cap on the SALT deduction to $20,000 for married tax filers for the tax year 2023. The author argues that this tax cut is costly and bad economics.

The proposed deal would revive tax breaks for research and development spending, boost the deductibility of investment, and business loans. The plan could be a boon for President Joe Biden, but many Democrats vow to block the current deal. The tax negotiations highlight that lawmakers are far from entering an era of austerity despite warnings about the unsustainable US fiscal trajectory.
