How true, and IMO the only way to deal with it is scrap the entire system and replace it.

Congress created the mess, and only Congress can clean it up.

As regarding even the first income tax, the Courts made that clear from the beginning:

Springer v. United States(1880), 102 U.S. 586

"If the laws here in question involved any wrong or unnecessary harshness, it was for Congress, or the people who make congresses, to see that the evil was corrected.
The remedy does not lie with the judicial branch of the government."
