Nope. Income tax, however little I like the way we do it, is clearly constitutional. 16th amendment and all that.
I'd be thrilled if we could outlaw payroll withholding, though. I suspect that many Americans would pay a lot more attention to government spending if they had to write a quarterly check to Uncle Sam for the full amount of their income tax liability for that quarter! They'd surely have a clearer view of how much they are paying. But that's a tactical idea, not a matter of principle.
