The states created the federal government, not the other way around. Constitutionally, I think it would be possible for the states to UNDO the federal government too

You are correct sir. The Congress could dissolve the existing fedgov and return control of the nation to the states, keeping a tiny percentage of fedgov for military, border protection, interstate highways, etc.

I propose abolishing the IRS and income tax; establishing a 1% federal sales tax (consumption tax), to be collected by the states; and the states take over, or obliterate, the rest of the "functions" of the federal govt. Over 90% of it could cease existing tomorrow, and among the citizenry no one would notice. Prove me wrong
