Not sure how Social Security and other payroll taxes could be handled, though.

They could be left as they are, but then the tax structure would tilt against the poor, perhaps some form of refund based on income but then you get back to the whole idea of reporting income and calculating a (negative) tax. What would be better is to reform the whole system and just have the social security money come from the sales tax.
