I've had exposure to quite a few 'rich' people in my time and i can tell you most would be happy to pay 20% or so and wouldn't bother minimising if that was the case, they also dislike how the Government wastes the money rather than being constructive with it, DOGE is highlighting a lot of waste that was going on and everyone knows Governments waste a lot but nothing is ever done about it.
One of the reasons Tariff's are so good is because it stops businesses minimising tax, they just have to pay 10% or 20% at the border, theres no bookwork to argue about or offshore havens or deductions of any kind, Tariff's by pass all this BS, and when you delusionally think that the consumer doesn't pay all the taxes that companies already pays in the price of a product and will only pay for a tariff tax on the price then your really stupid, ALL taxes are paid by the consumer through the prices of goods and services, ALL taxes are a cost on business and ALL costs on business have to be covered by the price of the goods and services they sell, the consumer is ALWAYS the one that pays the taxes at the end of the day, it's how it's collected that makes a difference and creates the opportunity to remove ALL income taxes for low end earners.
When you want higher Taxes it only means the p[rice of goods and services has to increase, it's why the cost of things is so high in Australia, high taxes increase prices.
