  • A 'Big Money Show' panel deliberates on President Donald Trump potential plan for IRS agents and his idea for funding the government.

The video segment from MSN features Larry Kudlow discussing former President Donald Trump's proposal to eliminate the IRS and replace income tax with tariffs on imports. Kudlow describes this idea as "Eliot Ness-type stuff," referencing the famous Prohibition agent known for his aggressive tactics against crime, suggesting that Trump's proposal is bold and confrontational. Kudlow explains that Trump's plan would involve a 10% tariff on all imports, aiming to fund the government without the need for an income tax, thereby simplifying the tax system and potentially reducing the size of the federal government. He also touches on the economic implications, including potential trade wars and the impact on global trade dynamics, while expressing skepticism about the feasibility and political acceptance of such a drastic change.
