Which will lead to the creation of co-ops by which people will collectively buy wholesale to skirt around the retail tax. This in turn will create tax shortfalls that will ultimately result in the return of the IRS while leaving the federal sales tax in place.

Much easier to catch co-ops than the many tax cheats and the cash economy we have now.

Maybe, but if unnecessary and unconstitutional agencies, services, and programs were cut from the federal government, a tax revenue shortfall wouldn't be a problem.

Co-ops in Calif are NOT exempt from any applicable sales taxes on goods sold which are taxable in any other location or situation. Might be different in some states, but that is usually NOT the reason co-ops are created.
Co-ops allow bulk purchasing which brings down the initial cost of goods in the first place. Being a MEMBER of the co-op is like owning stock and getting a dividend. When profits are distributed to co-op members, they get more money in the form of a "dividend".
