I don't beleive that would ever happen. Once the DC crowd has both a sales and income tax, they will never get rid of either one. The ONLY practical way to replace all our other taxes with a sales tax is to do it all at once in a single bill. Once the income tax, the tax code, and the mechanism to enforce it is gone, and we are actually running without one, then it would be fairly easy to get a consitutional ammendment to prevent a new income tax.
We'll be lucky if we ever get a chance to radically change the tax structure in this country. We better get it right the first time, because it will probably take another 100 years to do it again.
