Now this is the kind of policy that makes leftists break out in a cold sweat—President Trump is floating the idea of abolishing the IRS and replacing it with a revenue system based on tariffs. That’s right, the agency that has spent decades harassing hardworking Americans might finally be on its way out. And instead of squeezing the middle class with endless taxes, Trump wants foreign countries and global corporations to foot the bill.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick laid it out on Jesse Watters Primetime, saying:
“His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay.”
Can you imagine? No more IRS audits terrorizing small business owners while billion-dollar hedge funds get off scot-free. No more weaponized tax enforcement targeting conservatives. Just a simple, fair system where America’s enemies and competitors pay their share instead of everyday Americans.
Lutnick further explained that reciprocal tariffs—which force foreign nations to match our trade policies—could generate $700 billion per year in revenue. And with that, he says:
“There goes our deficit. And interest rates come smashing down, and the whole economy explodes higher.”

Exactly. For too long, the D.C. swamp has told us we have to live under an oppressive tax system while our government spends like a drunken sailor. Meanwhile, foreign companies ship their products into our country duty-free, while American businesses get taxed into the ground. It’s a rigged system, and Trump is dead set on blowing it up.
And here’s the kicker—Trump isn’t just talking about cutting income taxes. He’s talking about eliminating the IRS entirely. Instead, he wants an External Revenue Service that collects revenue through tariffs. This would take us back to the pre-1913 model, before the federal income tax turned the American worker into Washington’s personal ATM.
Of course, the “experts” are already clutching their pearls, saying it’s not feasible in modern times. Right, because letting the IRS steal from hardworking families while China and multinational corporations exploit us is feasible? Spare me.
Lutnick also pointed out something that nobody in the media wants to talk about—big industries are skating by without paying a dime.
“Cruise ships—you ever see a cruise ship with an American flag on the back? They have flags of Liberia or Panama. None of them pay taxes. Every supertanker, none pay taxes. Foreign alcohol, no taxes. This is going to end under Donald Trump.”
Imagine a tax system where global elites and foreign entities pay their fair share, and hardworking Americans don’t get robbed blind. That’s the vision here. Trump wants to balance the budget without bleeding the American taxpayer dry.
This isn’t just economic policy. It’s an America First revolution. And if Trump pulls this off, the IRS won’t just be gone—it’ll be a distant, ugly memory of the Washington swamp that he drained once and for all.
