How does a sales tax make it easier for the Feds to confiscate your property? Currently, they can quickly and easily place tax liens on your property for failure to pay your income taxes. With the NRST there is no tax return for the feds to pry over looking for mistakes.
I think you missed my quotes signifying that another poster posted that phrase which generated your response. I agree with your points, however you missed one thing. The government steals property from me with every dollar withheld. My income is property that rightfully belongs to me, yet for some reason the government has first claim to it. If I'm lucky I might get some of it back a year later. How nice of them.
Many people forget, income is property. What would you do with income if it weren't stolen from you? You would purchase something with it, that something becomes your property, therefore your time is spent earning property only to have that property stolen before you see it.
