It is a slow strategy, but I don't see any other option.

Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots need to wise up to the unconstitutional federal taxes that they've been paying all their lives and apply the following remedy in 2024.
Patriots need to put a permanent stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by first supporting hopeful Trump 47 with all new state and federal, Trump-supporting lawmakers and executives who will support Trump in leading the states to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

Democrats [And RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
If the repeal 16&17A amendment was strictly limited to repealing those amendments, then relatively little, or ideally no discussion would be needed to ratify it imo.
Finally, consider that probably the main reason that we hear political party and media complaints about the electoral college is that the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign all unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
