Your point is well taken. We are, however, discussing Boort and Linder's claims of 100% paychecks and prices reductions.
I agree and I have seen some good points regarding these aspects on these threads by those opposed to the NRST. I understand and accept that full gross pay and a 23% price decrease is not possible. However, it is not an either or situation. In my opinion, if pay did reach 100% gross, we would still see some price reduction. The result would be a slight increase in purchasing power, but not an exponential (doubling) increase.
This doesn't kill the idea for me. I would still prefer the NRST over any income tax.
