I think this just further proves your post doesn't make much sense.

Weird how we survived before income tax.
Your safer society cones with more restriction of freedom, but I don't think that's an issue for you

What happens if Joe hurts his back on the job and has to live in pain because the benevolent government refused to reschedule marijuana and bullied doctors into being afraid to prescribe painkillers?
What happens when Joe develops cancer and has to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket because his ACA compliant plan has no oncologists in network, but his old plan that would have covered him excluded contraception?
What happens when Joe gets laid off because the government issued bogus H1B visas to his replacement on the false pretense of there not being any qualified Americans to do his job?

Um...I don't see any reason that any of these are necessary. The SCOTUS could work just fine with a different number of justices. The government gets plenty of revenue. They don't need more. Revenue doesn't HAVE to be from income taxes.

No. They just exist for a different purpose, which may be good, bad, or neutral.

Changes due to the 11 million illegal immigrants here. Government has to pay for em.

False. The number of judges can be changed by Congress.

I want to be able to buy machine guns at WalMart without a stamp and think that most of FedGov should be dismantled. I support the FairTax, think the USSC should be capped at 8 justices, and believe that property taxes should be eliminated. I want the government school system disbanded, want the minimum wage eliminated, and think states should appoint US Senators again. I would like to see Social Security canceled. I want the TSA and Dept of Homeland Security disbanded. I would like to see drugs and prostitution legalized.
Just to name a few things.

I will update as more spring to mind.

Add: tax cuts must be "paid for"

US Senators used to be appointed by each state legislature. This was abandoned because state legislatures were so dominated by special interests that Senate seats were sold to corrupt morons. See the US Senate in the 1870-early 1900s.
To go back to that system of corruption would be an abomination.

State governments have no direct representation and say in DC whatsoever outside the rare opportunity a Governor gets to appoint a Senator.
Sure, they may be corrupt but under the old system, they would still represent their state governments interests as their job security depends on it, not representing the national party's interests.

Hell one episode of Rush usually covers the suck on all those things
