There's still the current "hidden tax" of 20-25% extra you pay for the costs of goods and services due to the effects of the income tax. With those removed (or at least a significant portion of them removed), not being taxed on any appreciation of your assets (nor at all on your 401k), and the FCA "rebate", your effective tax rate will likely be lower under the NRST than under the income tax, unless you are spending a lot of money.

That's nonsense. See #60,62,64. Any embedded tax money the Feds lose will be made up in a higher sales-tax rate. There's no way out unless the Feds accept less income!
