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?

State (specially blue ones) will instantly raise state income tax because they would probably be losing some Federal money, so they're going to retaliate against their own citizens. States will see the removal of the Federal income tax as a chance to explode their own tax rate because they will want that money the Feds are not getting shifted to the state.
