Funding the Federal Government by taxing State Governments

The federal government is limited in the ways it can affect state governments by the constitution but t is allowed to tax. Because you get less of things you tax by nature we should be looking to tax state government programs. There are several pernicious things I would like to see taxed out of existence.

Property Taxes. A person's principle residence should be exempt from property taxes. We didn't leave England because we wanted to live on the King's Land. Therefor I propose the federal government levies a 99% tax on revenues to the States and Counties from taxes on principle residences.

Other things that should be taxed at 80%:

Income lawyers earn from percentage based settlement/jury damage rewards.

State Gas taxes.

Revenues on fees/permits for occupational licensing.

This is certainly not an exhaustive list. It can easily be expanded.
