I also wonder if we'll transition from a federal income tax to some sort of flat tax to pay for the amazing health care system Trump teased us all with.

You mean a flat tax on income? That would still be an income tax.

Let's just uphold the Constitution:

• Federal taxes are for federal government functions, authorized in the Constitution (property tax is not federal).
• Constitution authorizes 2 taxes: Direct and Indirect. There is no 3rd option.
• Most of the federal government, when limited to constitutionally-authorized functions, will operate on indirect taxes (tarrifs and various excises).
• When in time of emergency (war, for example), Congress can impose a direct tax on the States, via apportionment, as the Constitution allows.
• Income tax is only limited to a tax on the act of engaging in a federal government authorized privilege. That is what it is -- that is what the 16th Amendment authorized, which means it does not apply to most people anyway (not illegal, not unconstitutional, but implemented in a fraudulent manner).

That is all we need to do. Now, the Congress has violated their fiduciary duty over many years by running up a federal debt of $31 trillion. So, that needs to be addressed, as follows:

• Any member of Congress, past or present, who voted for any budget that contributed to the debt, should be forced to give up any and all government payouts, including retirement and other perks, other than current members getting a base salary, and a percentage of their wealth should be confiscated as a token of our disgust. It won't pay off the debt, but those who created the problem should be the first to solve it.
• The Federal Reserve must be abolished. Their assets must be confiscated and all debt they hold as an "asset" on their books should be "donated" to the federal government as a means of paying down the debt that they benefitted from creating.
• Any person who was a member of the Federal Reserve should have the same treatment as the members of Congress.
• All buildings owned by the federal government that are not necessary for the constitutionally-authorized functions of the gov't should be sold to pay down the debt.
• The indirect and/or direct taxes should have a surtax added so that the remaining debt can be paid back over 10 years.
• A balanced budget should be required, and with no fraudulent "off the books" type of accounting.
• A national lottery should be instituted for the purpose of paying down whatever debt is left over. Over time, 75% of lottery proceeds goes to pay down the debt and 25% goes out as $1,000,000 payments to multiple winners (many winners, not just one getting a huge jackpot).

Debt should be paid off in 10 years. Budget should be balanced, limited to only the constitutional functions authorized, and indirect taxes would pay for all of it from then on, other than a true national emergency, when a direct tax via apportionment would be implemented.
