Howard Lutnick: "Trump announces the External Revenue Service"

Howard Lutnick: "Think about it. Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service, and his goal is very simple: to abolish it. His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and make all outsiders pay. I mean, this is someone who is focused on America.

Let’s cut down on waste, fraud, and abuse. I’ll give you an example. Cruise ships. Have you ever seen a cruise ship with an American flag on the back? They have flags from countries like Liberia or Panama. None of them pay taxes. None of them pay taxes. Every supertanker—none of them pay taxes.

Alcohol, all foreign alcohol—no taxes. This will end under Donald Trump, and those taxes will be paid, and Americans’ tax rates will go down. That’s what Donald Trump wants to do—balance our budget and lower our taxes.

I mean, imagine a Democratic senator opposing that. What planet are these people on?"
