Nope, it's that simple. The reason I ask is that you are going to be given a quote by one economist (as if one economist makes it so) that says there would be a 22% drop in producer prices with a NRST. The FairTax supporters have led people to believe this equates to a 22% drop in consumer prices.

I think it's bunk and certainly not enough to bet the future of our economy on. A slight change in the input numbers of an economic model and the results would be completely different (chaos and the butterfly effect). But you can form your own opinion.
