You do NOT want a national sales tax.
That would be the WORST idea.
You would first need a constitutional amendment to allow it, and then it would be ADDED TO all the other taxes, and NOT REPLACE them.
Even if we had a few years where it would replace, other politicians would just add it back later.
Switching to tariffs would work. But forget the national sales tax.
You are DREAMING.
Government doesn't work like that. In 1913, the income tax was 1% to 6% max.
How did that work out? Went to 90+% for decades.
First of all, dreaming is a GOOD thing, not a bad thing.
Why can't we return to a time when there was no income tax? We can, if enough Americans accept that it can be real and then demand it.
Second, the assertion that the creation of the national sales tax could not occur simultaneously with the permanent repeal of the income tax, in one or two simultaneous amendments, is unprovable.
Also the mere statement that politicians would add the federal income tax later doesn't make it necessarily factual. We can prevent it by using language similar to "Congress shall pass no law creating a federal income tax."
Think in terms of possibility. Dare to dream, patriot.
