Just make payroll taxes illegal, and stop taxing people's income. That's slavery, yo.
Do what Jefferson did and tax imports. Or better yet, just cut government back to where it is supposed to be: a government that deals only with states and not with the people.
The Federal Government only trumps the states in the areas where the Constitution says it does. We were supposed to have 50 independent nations that are unified in a very specific and limited way to ensure the survival of everyone.
The federal government tried taking over state governments during reconstruction. It turns out you can't force stupid people to stop being stupid. You can only let them live with the consequences of their stupidity until they stop being stupid.
In those states that have gone fully stupid, the people should be "altering or abolishing" their own state governments. If CA thinks that TX is going to send their boys to fight a rebellion in their own state, they have another thing coming.

How? They wouldn't be able to collect tariffs as it is explicitly forbidden in the constitution for anyone but the federal government to do so.
States can collect property tax, sales tax, whatever, but taxing people's LABOR is slavery.
