But believe it or not, the nrst has lower rates than the income tax system has. IOW, legal participants in today's income/payroll tax system are paying more than they would under this nrst.
Real prices actually decrease - ie purchasing power actually increases - for legal participants in today's system. But illegals, criminals, and current tax cheats will begin having to pay.
That so many are unaware of the full extent of their tax burden is proof that making the tax burden visible would indeed have an effect on spending.
Merry Christmas!
Oh please, the rebates insure everyone does not pay the same rate from the get go. Charge everyone the same amount! The only true solution to "Divide and Conquer".
