“About half of what the federal government does is unconstitutional.”
Half? I think you should get a prize for understatement. It’s likely more than 3\4ths.
I would much prefer a national sales tax to the current system but unfortunately there is about a one in a million chance at best of ever passing it unless it is IN ADDITION to all the current taxes. We will become Venezuela 2.0 before it happens.

Even more reason to repeal the 16th Amendment. I read somewhere, but didn’t have the foresight to save it, that the early US government got concerned when they had too much money in the coffers because it could make the govt. prey for scalawags, or something like that.
If you truly understood the 16th, you would (perhaps) want to keep it. http://losthorizons.com/
I agree. Fair tax should be the ultimate goal.
