If we went to a consumption tax we would eliminate the income tax

They'd never do that. As people get older, they generally consume less. They already own their homes, furniture, cars, etc. and they're at the peak of their skill and earnings. There's no way the government is going to let that income go un-taxed. Some, myself included, would just choose to consume less to avoid the taxes.
