While I strongly prefer the NRST, I wouldn't stomp my feet and pout over a flat tax, either.

The reason I prefer the NRST over the flat tax is that the NRST GETS THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR PERSONAL BUSINESS! Why do we think it's the divine right of government to know every little scrap of income we have? And to have the authority to tax us on it? Why do we unquestioningly comply with this? The only beneficiaries are the people who can legally pick your pocket (or outright rob you) through the current tax code.

Well said. -- And you can bet your bottom dollar that those who are arguing here against the Fair Tax have that hand in your pocket, - as we speak.

This proposal breaks their rice bowl.
