[Errant]

Jurisdiction of interstate commerce belongs to the federal government per the constitution.

However, the constitution provides a mechanism whereby states may call a constitutional convention for the purpose of adding, modifying, or removing amendments.

One option would be for the states to call such a convention for the sole purpose of removing the 16th amendment which provides for the collection of individual income taxes. This amendment allows for the full measure of the federal government to be brought against individual income earners and removed the states as intermediaries.

Remove this amendment and the federal beast risks starvation by biting the hand of the states who feed it...

Do it NOW, while we still have a super majority of "red" states (if still true).

That sounds feasible. Maybe that's the correct approach - my original thought was to "starve" the blue states but perhaps starving D.C. would be better.
