Under ANY federal tax system that extracts a few Trillion out of the economy, there will be federal tax collectors no matter what name you may give to them.

But under a national sales tax the federal tax collectors would deal only with the states, who would be responsible for managing the sales tax system. There would no longer be any declaration of income with the IRS, there would no longer be any tax returns. I can't think of anything that would better reflect the President's committment to expanding liberty and freedom then to free the American people from the shackles of the IRS.

I think you need to read the bill some more, because that ain't exactly what's in it.

This is not true at all. Social Security will still be based on income, and people must report it (but now people have motivation to lie about having more income). And people still need to register with the federal tax collectors if they want to recieve their monthly tax rebate check. A sales tax system once implemented will not be as easy as it sounds.
