I don't see that as worse than income tax. Let's face it, all taxes suck. But, most states already collect a sales tax. Harder (but still possible) to do social engineering with a sales tax. It's still progressive to satisfy moderates, but essentially a flat tax. You decide if you can afford to pay the tax or not. Sales tax would be a big win for privacy rights. That is huge IMO. Of course, I'm only in favor as a replacement for income tax, not in addition. Need to repeal the income tax amendement.

Without getting into the details of the NRST at all, the fact it is advertised as the "fairtax", an attempt to condition opinion, the rate thereof is advertised as 23% when the actual percentage is 29.9%, and those that stump for it use misleading and erroneous fragments of the Federalist debates and court cases, that, when examined closely say nothing of the sort, in support of the NRST, indicated that there is something rotten with the deal.

And this without examining the implications of the actual HR25 sections and clauses.
