Worth repeating:
The IRS should be 2 guys working 2 days twice a year.
They meet the day after a federal budget is passed.
They divide the bottom-line total revenue needed by the number of Congressmen, add up according to state, and bill each state’s Governor accordingly (noting a 50% late fee), due (as in arrived, not sent) April 15.
On April 16, they check the one IRS mailbox, cash all checks.
On April 17, they confirm the funds have been transferred, and notify the President accordingly.
Let the states decide how they will raise the revenue. This is the United STATES; the states formed the club, let their individual members deal with the state wherever possible, leaving the state as an entity to deal with the feds.
