... all taxes should be collected by the states, or even by the counties and cities as they do in Virginia. Then, what the states don't need, they can send to the US government That I must say, is an awesome idea my FRiend!
We tried that already. It was when the country existed under the Articles of Confederation. It didn't work.

I believe the United States under its Constitution was stabilzed financially by trade tariffs both foreign and domestic as set up by Alexander Hamilton.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong. In any event the income tax was never a glue that held the nation together.
