Let's assume President Trump is successful in eliminating the federal income tax. I would be interested in your thoughts as to whether the states would follow suit, or if they would keep their income tax as before at the same rate. OR if they would jump at the chance to increase their tax rate because of the new "windfall" of money flowing into your pocket? What's your best guess?

There would have to be some stipulation that if States raised their income tax in response to Federal income tax elimination, their Federal "assistance" would be severely cut or removed. Otherwise we know states would capitalize and dip deeper.
