Also, next time, add a bullet for the fact that rent will be taxable. If you pay $1000 to rent a house, you will have to pay $1300 ($1000 rent + $300 NRST) under the NRST.

If you pay $1000 to rent a house, you will have to pay $1300 ($1000 rent + $300 NRST) under the NRST. Absolutely. Because your landlord isn't currently paying any taxes at all. Nope. Uh-uh. None.

I made that point in #9, but maybe should have given its it own number. Interest is also taxed under the sales tax, but only the amount above the fed rate.

So what? See #35; the FairTax is revenue neutral, so you'll end up paying roughly the same total amount of taxes. It's silly to point at specific places taxes will go up, because they'll go down in other places, most notably your paycheck.

Indeed an interesting thread would be to make bullet points on our income tax.

I don't think so. Renting is not the same a buying.
