In Canada they have it, it's called the GST goods and services tax, but they still have an "income" tax.
Some funny things about tax law in the US. When you look at what the word income meant at the time that the constitutional amendment was ratified allowing it, income was commonly taken as meaning capitol gain (income derived from investment) while wages were the money you made from work. Also there are may documents and papers that say that the amendment wasn't actually ratified. Personally I would probably support a sales tax, but I would prefer to see the government be self sustaining.
