c) Nobody should pay taxes based on how hard they work. Eliminate income taxes as the government just squanders it anyway, and has the authority to print their own money.

This is exactly what IRS is doing.
Individuals earning below a certain amount don't pay any income tax; that is why there are Earned Income Credit and Child Tax Credit

What you pay in taxes should be adherent to what you earn.
If you fall below a minimum amount of income, you should have to pay only social security, but get the income taxes cut out.
Meanwhile, people that make the highest incomes need to get taxed more. Especially those that make millions a year.
You can give them ways to earn tax reductions for things like donations, investments in beneficiary projects etc - give them a tax cut if they show they're using part of their high income for the greater good, not just because they're rich and powerful.

Both are important. Asking people to pay tax when they can barely put milk on the table is absurd. But if we intend to keep the country running, we have to have a tax base to pay for it. You can't build and maintain an Interstate highway, a water control project, a bridge, a dam, a military for our protection or any of the many, things our taxes pay for on hot air. And if we put our tax dollars into helping a low-income person to become a higher income person so they can pay taxes, it was well worth the investment.
