I can get all of that without any sales tax at my local AAFES BX/PX. Are you going to deny me and other active duty/retired veterans that small benefit too?

You pay income taxes do you not? Not to mention the fact you also pay the business taxes embedded in the prices of those product purchased in that local local AAFES BX/PX.

The NRST is a replacement for all those taxes. Not addition to them.

I'm a veteran and would have to pay that NRST, and I don't expect to live in this nation free of all federal taxation. Why do you expect a free ride?,/b>

By the way you will continue to be able to purchase state sales tax and excise tax free just as you do today. No difference.

So please explain to us where you loose this "small benefit too"?

Well, its kinda hard to see the uniform from here.
You're exempt already, although the new system may remove all exemptions, but I wouldn't advocate denying the military anything.
Good job playing devil's advocate though.
And thank you for your service.
