re: How is the income tax legal?

What's your proposal to pay for government?

National sales tax

Each state pays the federal government money for essential services that only a federal government can do(military, foreign affairs, etc)

How each state raises their portion to the federal government is up to their state legislatures. Florida revenue streams are vastly different than Alaska but Alaska cost of living is substantially higher than a Floridian’s. Florida could increase tourism taxes and Alaska tax oil, tourism, and fisheries more to pay their portion to the feds.

An income tax not only hinders productivity but disproportionately hurts wager earners in high COL areas.
