revenue would have fallen due to wages not keeping up with inflation.

So you're saying that if we had an income tax, it would be in the government's interest to promote higher wages? That sounds like the opposite of a problem.

Promote higher wages for the middle class, yes. The bottom half pay nothing anyway. You’d have to hugely increase minimum wage to make a tax difference.
