and you really think states would give up their #1 source of revenue?

They wouldn'y give up anything - they would still get whatever is needed to meet their budget (which most can't do right now!) It would simply place the tax burden on every man woman and child in the US equally - For example - the national sales tax is 32.78%. You buy something that costs $1000 - you add the tax and it costs $ 1387.80. Costs you $ 1387.80 and it costs Bill Gates the same amount. It costs the illegal alien who pays no tax $ 1387.80. This is the only fair tax - even your legislator will tell you that - but he'll never vote for it!
P.S Even if the tax was higher than my imaginary figure - It is still the fairest of all taxes.
