It does not have a lick to do with where the money goes as you posit.

If a certain amount of money currently goes to the Feds, and if your NRST is revenue neutral, then after implemetation the same amount will continue to go to the feds. If it goes somewhere else, like to the states, then it's no longer "revenue neutral" as the feds aren't getting the same revenues. That's what "revenue neutral" means. Don't be an ass.

Yep. Close enough.

If it goes somewhere else, like to the states, then it's no longer "revenue neutral" as the feds aren't getting the same revenues.

This is where it unravels. You're assuming that the money going to the states (or staying with them) is going to the state instead of the feds. That's wrong.

That's what "revenue neutral" means. Don't be an ass.

Well, you have got it mostly right. Ass.
