YN is aptly named. Because his particular ox may be gored a bit under the NRST, he wants the rest of us to be gored forever. He has absolutely no concern for the good of the country.
I too will likely pay more under the NRST, but I'm more concerned about the future of this country, my kid's tax burden, and getting out from under the tyranny of the IRS and the Income Tax.
One of the greatest side benefites of this plan that I predict will occur is that when these congresscritters lose their power to dispense favors and wield power that it will no longer be as much fun or as profitable to remain in office and will start to retire. The turnover will do wonders for representative government.
