Trump Has a Sweet Deal for American Tax Dodgers Overseas

Donald Trump’s project of gradually replacing the progressive income tax with an across-the-board tariff of 10 to 20 percent on all imported goods—which Kamala Harris and Tim Walz describe, quite accurately, as a national sales tax—proceeds apace. The latest instance is Trump’s promise to stop making American citizens who live abroad pay income tax to the United States. This would incentivize wealthy Americans to resettle abroad, which is not a policy you’d expect from a self-professed America Firster.
