"Now the widget supplier sells them for $7."

Excuse me, Mr. Phantom Lord, but I import my widgets from a Chinese company. (Actually, I import 75% of my products from overseas manufacturers. So do my competitors. Keeps the retail price low, doncha know.)

How much, again, will I pay for my $10 widget after the NRST?

And with the NRST, the entirety of the cost of compliance with the tax code, and paying the taxes disappears and American companies regain competitiveness as their expenses drop, productivity rises, and market share increases.

You own a store that sells widgets. There happens to be a widget store across the street from you as well. Your both in fierce competition for consumers.

The NRST is passed and enacted. Prior to this you were paying the Widget suppliers [both foreign & domestic,] $10 per widget. Now the [domestic] widget supplier sells them for $7.

Do you lower your prices before your competition does? Do you lower your prices after he does? Or do neither of you lower your prices?
