The flat tax and the nrst are both consumption taxes. THey both tax consumption.

What part of a government employee's wage, salary and benefit do I consume?

LOL why are you asking me? You are the one who stated that the flat income tax and the nrst are consumption taxes.

Maybe you should see what makes them both consumption taxes. Maybe you'd be surprised to see that an employee of the federal government has tax withheld and sent to his employer... the federal government.
