The idea is there would be NO income tax - abolition of the 16th Amendment would be required.

Economists agree that a Consumption based tax places less 'drag' on an economy.
EVERYONE pays it too.
Welfare parasites, the unemployed, retired people, kids, tourists, illegal aliens, people who work under the table. Anyone who consumes pays the tax.
If it replaces the income tax, the economy will soar.
Look at what happened to Slovakia and Russia when they went to a flat tax! Their economies have taken off.

My understanding is the the 16th amendment does not require the IRS, merely allows it. Repeal could come later, to make sure it never springs up again, though.

The idea is there would be NO income tax - abolition of the 16th Amendment would be required. And and amendment authorizing the Fed Govt to levy a sales tax. I love the Idea. Hookers and drug dealer pay their share.
