I'd do the same for unemployment, & medicare....no more payroll taxes or deductions...you earn $1,000/wk, you take home $1,000 a week. I could sell that easily.

An argument could certainly be made that parts of the country no longer meet the threshold for civilized that was used to justifying the imposition of income tax

If people had to write a check every month for their tax liability, I bet a lot of government overreach would go away. People would refuse to support anything that would cause their taxes to be increased.

All it takes is a trial from a lower court to get the ball rolling...it's not that tough if its a case the SCOTUS wants to hear, & feels its their jurisdiction.

They do get to pick and choose which judgements they'll hear.
