I am not sure about a Fed sales tax, but I am sure in favor of one on the State level to eliminate property taxes we have here in Pennsylvania.

The best argument for a sales tax is because it means
the government would need to keep NO records on
the individual taxpayer.

The second best argument is that it means the taxpayer
would have to keep (and maintain for years) NO records
of his transactions.

That adds up to a lot of freedom from the prying eyes
of the state, and that would be worth paying a bit
more at the pump.

Won't work. One of the reasons I left CA was because you have State Income Tax, State Sales Tax, and Property Taxes, plus the excise taxes on gas and other products. Plus Vehicle registration. Plus...

Taxes are never eliminated. Added to and expanded, yes. But never replaced or eliminated.
