If the current US govt did that, I must assume the conservatives/Republicans would be pleased. As with all taxes, reducing or eliminating it would be viewed as a step towards a more free economy, and a step towards job creation. From what I see and hear, every tax reduced or eliminated is good, in their view. "Starve the beast" is a Republican motto in present day politics.

Not that I believe that view for even a second.
