Actually, your interpretation is severly flawed. You selectively highlight certain text, but completely gloss over the fact that the two are not related. Clause 2 specifically says the consumer is no longer liable for the tax once it is paid to the seller. This makes the rest of your screed pointless.

LOL. You are making no sense. I highlighted and explained every relevant point in percise detail. Individuals can be audited because they are liable and required to remit the tax. In order to show you are not liable for a tax you must produce a receipt if asked. Once you produce the receipt then you are no longer liable. But the NRST is not tax freedom for individuals. It is just as intrusive and vile as the current system.

Keep your fanatsies. I read through your entire post, and it got less compelling as an argument the longer it went on. You are trying to cherry-pick lnaguage from different parts of the bill, while ignoring other relevant information, to create something that isn't there, just for the sake of decrying it.

You still haven't even come close to showing that the bill requires consumers to keep receipts or that they are subject to audit.

Given our experience with taxing authorities, I would assume that they will say that whichever party to a transaction they can get their hands on should be made to prove that the tax was paid or pay up. I can see someone showing up on your doorstep, flashing a badge, and demanding to see proof that taxes were paid on that Cadillac in your driveway. If you say "Go see the guy who sold it to me. His name was Vinnie and I answered his ad in the paper. I forget his address", I don't think that they are exactly going to say "Thank you for the information, sir. Sorry to have disturbed you. Have a nice day."
