America needs to abandon the income tax system completely and return to the collecting taxes off of foreigners that are importing products into the United States. Taxing the imports (called a tariff) would not only provide the needed funds for the national debt, provide more disposable income to Americans but also would level the playing field with foreign importers allowing American industries to come back. Also the property rights, minerals, gas, oil and other natural resources which by state statutes in the 1970's became owned, regulated and operated by state agencies need to be accounted for and begin to get credited to the American people.
