Representative apportionment is the better solution. Congress decides how much money to raise via taxes. That amount is divided in two. One half is the Senator’s amount, the other half is the Representatives amount. Divide each of these down by the number of Senators and Representatives to determine the per Senator and per Representative amounts.
Each state is then billed for their two Senators and the number of representatives times the representative amount. The States then can determine how to collect taxes that best suits their state. Some states may want to tax property, others income, others sales, or a mix.

ding ding ding we have a winner!!
It is and never was the federal gov’t intended purpose to have any contact with an individual. the federal gov’t deals with the states......
That is very unfair to small states and will never pass.
GREAT IDEA/!!!!!
I have proposed that the federal government send out 50 bills. One to each state. The size of the bill is based upon the number of citizens over 18 at the time of the last census.
Let the states figure out how to collect it. Eventually, with 50 experiments going on, the least expensive to the citizens and state to manage, most compassionate, and business friendly methods will emerge.
