Thr transition issue is only part of the problem. Any simple flat tax or broad based sales tax doesn't work well for politicians wanting to use the tax code to control things or support their pet causes. There would have to be very strong support from the people to overcome politicians natural reluctance to give up a lever of power for any plan like this to get anywhere.
