The federal government should just bill states for their portion of the national budget,proportional to the population,and leave it to the state governments to decide how to tax their people.That would give us some CHOICE.

Wow, sounds like something our founding fathers would think up. A great idea that worked until 1913.

No actually the Founders explicitly changed that method when the Constitution was ratified. What you are praising is similiar to the method under the Articles of Confederation and turned into a disaster since the states just ignored the needs of the Confederation.
