But to be fair and remain revenue neutral, the percentage should be reduced as government costs are reduced. (e.g. no further need for the tens of thousands of I.R.S. employees now working in compliance and collection.)

The IRS employees would go to work for the states and the government would collect an additional 30% for all of it's purchases PLUS 30% on all government employee's salaries wages and benefits...no government cost/spending reductions or sales tax rate reductions there.

"The IRS employees would go to work for the states..."

Do you have a source for that prediction or is it just another one of your unfounded assertions?
