Fine, however I really would like you to cite that U.S. Supreme Court ruling you say exists concerning a lack of authority for the national government to levey a general retail sales tax.

Especially considering that retail sales taxes are indirect taxes laid uniformly, i.e. with the same rate and law without regard to location in the United States, a tax definitely within the powers of Congress to lay and collect under Article I, Section 8, clause 1 of the Constitution.
