10. What states would ever agree to cede all state & local taxing authority to the federal government ?

State and local governments, whose residents agreed on higher taxes to fund things like K-12 schools, colleges, police & fire, parks & recreation, and roads, among others, would be prohibited from doing so, and be bound by whatever the Federal government decided they deserved? Not even remotely constitutional.

No state would ever agree to anything like that nor should they. Might as well say to dissolve all the state boundaries and just have one big single country.
