I'm glad to hear you agree that the nrst allows choices to be made that will allow one to reduce his tax burden without buying less.

Does it occur to you that if people makes purchasing choices that are not taxed, or avoid the tax, it blows your contention that tax collections will equal or surpass what we have now?

BTW buying less does not mean having less.

Do you think it's a bad thing if the gov't takes in less tax if its citizens choose to make it so?!

That is not my contention. My contention is that legal participants of today's income/payroll tax system will experience gains in purchasing power when we go to HR 25.

What your point illustrates though is that undr HR 25, the residents of the US may CHOOSE to reduce their taxes and CHOOSE to send less to the government and that even an anti-nrst person recognizes it.
