President Donald Trump has outlined one plan that would provide America with an income instead of a federal income tax.
And he cites a time period that for decades, it worked.
He said, "America's going to be very rich again and it's going to happen very quickly. It's time for the United States to return to the system that made us richer and more powerful than ever before."
He continued, "You know the United States in 1870 to 1913 all tariffs and that was the richest period in the history of the United States relatively speaking. In other words, relatively, and they set up the great tariff commission of 1887 and this commission had one function. What to do with all the money that we took in.
"It was so enormous that they had no idea, it was a blue ribbon committee set up in 1887, and what to do with all of the money, that we had and again, Teddy Roosevelt was a beneficiary, because when McKinley was killed he took over this vast sum of money, and he did all of those national parks, and all of the other things and I'm not knocking him, but he was given a vast amount of money. And that was all made through tariffs. We had no income tax. The income tax came in in 1913, As I said in my speech last week instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens. Does that make sense?"

Part II - Additional Information with More Analysis, Commentary, and Other Topics
1) From the YouTube page of PragerU is the following text and video. "As much as anyone, William McKinley laid the foundation for US dominance in the 20th century. Why, then, is America’s 25th president given such little credit for his accomplishments? Jason R. Edwards, professor of history at Grove City College, sets the record straight."
2) A longer version of the video provided in the WND article above is posted below. It provides more of the context for President Trump's remarks.
3) American citizens were 'sold' on the idea of enacting an income tax as a kind of 'tax the rich' scheme over 100 years ago, as Trump briefly aludes to in the video above.
4) The so-called "progressive" approach has demonstrably failed for the better part of a century. How long must we the people wait before we return to the methods that America's founders envisaged for a federal government limited to a few key tasks, where state and local governments can better be supervised by their citizens for results (or lack of results) and corrections can more swiftly be made?
