If we were to do away with the 16th Amendment, thereby eliminating Federal income taxes, could the gov't make up the lost revenue via tariffs on imports (or some other method which creates American jobs)?

Seems like a win to me, but I don't know where to start to find the right stats.

Plus, you can't dodge a sales tax, it's due when you purchase. No more fraudulent tax returns.
