...you'll have a new 30% sales tax to pay on some things you've never had to pay tax on before.

That's not right. THere already is existing taxes included in prices amounting to 22% inclusive or 28% "sales tax".

It's just that the included 22% (28% sales tax) has always been invisible. That's the only difference.

Then how do you know how much it is or that it's even there.

Since you think you do know where and how much it is, do what no one else can, demonstrate, not explain, how it works...

For those of you unfamilar with these discussions, Principled is refering to one theoretical paper that state with a NRST there would be a 22% drop in producer prices, not consumer prices. That's cool if you're a producer, if you're a consumer you won't see that drop in prices.
