It would violate the separation of powers - the power of taxation belongs to the Legislature.
Since we're stuck with a progressive tax system and small changes are always easier to get passed, I'd like to see the first $100k of income be completely income tax free...
BUT, I'd really like for the federal government to go back to something closer to the original system of taxation: apportionment among the States. Allow each State to determine how to pay its tax bill... of course, then you'd have 50 States challenging expensive spending, so Congress would never go for it... something that would need to be forced into law.
As an alternative, funding the federal government with a permanently fixed sales tax rate would be workable... but protections to prevent inflationary monetary policies would need to be in place.
