NRST will NOT leave us with a "single tax." It will become VAT and will be hidden from the population. Not only that but do you really think the government will give up all it s other taxes? Like the gas tax? Britain still has its gas tax and it provides 11% of the revenue because when the price goes up folks tend to blame it on the oil companies. Europe still has most of the taxes it ever had. Plus its sales tax. Thăt is the way of government.

You have convinced me. The total mess with the 50,000 pages of taxes and the system that punishes you for success and allows some to escape paying but not others and gives the government the power to jaol you and take everything you worked for is better than a single tax on the end user of an item. No, we wouldn't want to change THAT wonderful, fair, simple system!</disgusted sarcasm>
