You know, taxes are high under almost any situation anyone could name. For me, the biggest advantage of the NRST is that it's NOBODY'S BUSINESS how much I make. The demise of the IRS is a dream of mine, I'd love to see it come true.

One other advantage is that a lot of illegal money is spent on legal "stuff." It'd be nice if illegals paid taxes on all the "stuff" they buy here, if criminals paid taxes on their lavish lifestyles, and if NOBODY could ever be a criminal again for not reporting money earned, if April 15 were just another day...

For that, I'd even pay higher taxes under the NRST.

The other point is taxes are high but I think honesty is better. With the income tax we don't know the value we are getting for our hard earned money. The fair tax is completely transparent and if the government takes in too much, we can stop spending more or roll back the tax level. That's the beauty of it.
