well it works on Gas, Alcohol, and cigerettes.
currently each state has its own sales tax,
when i lived in Texas there was no state income tax, but there was a huge sales tax, plus there are other states that do the same. if it works on the state level why won't it work on the federal?

Think about the amount of tax revenue you need to replace. In addition you would drastically effect consumption habits. There is a reason why gas, alcohol and tobacco can be so heavily taxed.... most folks who use them have a fairly inelastic demand for those goods.
