I believe a national sales tax is a great idea. It would ensure that everyone carries their fair share of the tax burden. You wouldn't have people avoiding taxes by "getting paid under the table" and illegal immigrant labor avoiding taxes would become a moot point, hell even all the money spent to keep the IRS running could be used else where.
There are issues but they can be overcome. The easiest is that of low income families. Most plans use ideas of prebates and reduced tax on essentials. The big one is the people who saved money and built retirments based on the current tax code. This is the one that is going to be difficult to overcome.
The Fair Tax is probably the national sales tax that has the biggest support base, if anyone is interested in researching the idea more.
