You said a sales tax would require "intrusion into private lives."
                                                
Presumably the sales tax would have to be larger than it would be
now, so avoiding it would be more worthwhile.

How do you think the gov't would enforce taxes on bartered property?  
What about the black market that would arise to avoid sales tax?
