100% of the Constitutional parts of government (roads, legislature, judiciary, etc.) can be paid for with the tariffs and excise taxes we already collect without raising taxes a single penny.

Income taxes go to pay the interest on the loans the government has taken out from other countries to pay for the unconstitutional parts of government including unconstitutional wars of aggression directed at those who posed no threat to our own.

The American government borrows money in our name, and then gives it away to other countries in food or guns...mostly guns. It arms both sides of every dispute, and sticks our nose where it doesn't belong. It pays for our bloated military that is 8 times larger than it needs to be to defend America well.
