Not sure. In Ca, we already pay 8.25% sales tax which would make the rate 28.5% to 31.5%. Would not be a savings to me.
You're already paying the tax - it's not going to be "in addition to" existing prices. The nrst replaces the taxes you're already paying in prices - but most people don't know they're there.... prices won't change much if at all. That's why dems HATE this idea... makes us all aware of how much we have to feed the beast!
You would still save big in time and compliance costs. Also, lower prices; lower mortgage rates; no capital gains taxes; no tax on interest or dividends; no embedded taxes in our exports; more capital invested in U. S. production facilities. That is where we will get more high wage jobs.
