a national sales tax would interfere with a state's police powers and tax goods not reachable by federal jurisdiction. The feds can only tax things in interstate commerce. Businessees that are small and solely intrastate would not fall under the tax and thus overcomplicate it. I'm sure 5 of the 9 Sup. Ct. Justices would strike it down as exceeding federal jurisdiction

Don't you love federalism?
