Really? You aren't seeing that money NOW. You will see it with the NRST. How is this a bad thing? You have more money in your pocket at the end of the month.
What is your problem with this?
Example. I make around $1200 a week, but due to taxes my current take home pay is about $900. After the NRST, if my pay is re-adjusted to $1100 a week, but I'm taking home ALL of it, I'm $200 a week to the positive.
This isn't startling at all. What is startling is that so many of you are still against it. That you will use the thinest excuses to keep your precious Federal Leviathan IRS.
Pathetic.
In the case you describe, prices must go up. The only way prices don't go up under the so-called "Fair Tax" is if employers reduce your gross pay to your current net pay. And if employers reduce your gross pay to your current net pay and prices don't go up, you are in the same position you are today.
