The Deduction

Election Insights | Can Trump's Tariff Plan Really Replace the Income Tax?


Listen Later

Can tariffs truly replace income taxes in today’s economy? In this episode, we examine the bold and controversial proposal from former President Trump to replace income taxes with tariffs. What would this dramatic shift mean for everyday Americans, particularly those with lower incomes? And would it actually work?

To unpack these questions, Kyle Hulehan is joined by Erica York, Senior Economist and Research Director, as they explore the impact of tariffs on household budgets and the economy as a whole. They’ll also revisit the McKinley Tariff era to see what history can teach us about the possible political backlash and economic consequences.
