I did not read #T-rump's announcement about payroll taxes and withholding, so this is not directly a response to that. It is more of a response to someone who was talking about taxation in reaction to the President's proposal.

"Trump is going to eliminate payroll taxes"

I doubt that. There are years of statutes and constitutional law behind income taxes, and he is not going to be successful at dissolving those things. What he's likely to be doing is eliminating tax withholding from people's wages. While people will like that _now_, they will hate it come April, when they have to suddenly come up with 20% or more of their annual gross earnings in order to pay the IRS before the deadline. I assure you, the Internal Revenue Service is exactly the agency that you do not want to have getting angry at you. Remember, Al Capone was finally locked up for tax evasion, not any of his other activities.
