A 9.75 percent flat national sales tax. Exemptions are for food, clothing, essential communications tech, medical needs, and housing.

Essential communications tech is specified as tablets, net books, laptops, cell phones, home computers.
Hidden taxes on cell plans are to be ended.

A constitutional amendment to repeal the Federal Income Tax and disband the IRS

So what all are you gonna cut in spending?  Even after eliminating all discretionary spending, including the entire Department of Defense, there wouldn't be enough revenue in what you propose the tax base be to pay for what's left.  Assuming you're defining sales tax in the usual fashion, your proposed tax is less than one-third of the level of the so-called Fair-Tax proposal, and you're proposing a whole raft of exemptions to the tax. Even assuming every component of the GDP were subject to your tax rate, which your proposal explicitly rejects, you're not raising enough revenue to pay even two-thirds of current mandatory spending.

Not even current mandatory spending is safe from my blowtorch.

Just curious, why would you ban taxes on internet purchases?

Since taxes can't be levied on communications tech any purchase made via such device is protected from taxation.
