TAX THE STATES, NOT THE PEOPLE

Here's an idea. The federal government should GET OUT of the business of taxing individuals - whether people or companies. It should get most of its revenue from the states. Each state would be required to pay 10% of all its revenue to the federal government - off the top - before any expenses are calculated.

Wouldn't it be easier for our federal government to keep track of 50 contributors as opposed to 100 million or more?

Your opinions, please.

The problem is that all the IRS agents would loose their jobs if it were that easy for the feds to collect taxes... And the gov't is concerned about unemployement numbers these days.

Plus the states are used to federal hand-outs (with strings attached) not letting the feds tax their tax income... some of the states my revolt as they're already having trouble balancing their own budgets.
