The Federal Government of today has more than enough power to collect the sales tax from the several states.

How? But sending in the Marines, occupying the state houses, and arresting the Governor?

Nope.

By threatening to withhold funds, the way they do right now.

How many States in recent decades have eschewed funds that were tied to legislation that required them to implement certain policies?

Snapped your seat belt shut lately?
