Most after tax prices go down under the nrst - because MANY who currently do not pay their portion of income tax/payroll tax [illegals, criminals] will begin paying their full share of federal tax via purchases under the nrst.

Why don't fairtaxers stick to legitimate arguments instead of relying on bogus arguments such as this one. As has been explained hundreds of times, the fairtax does nothing to tax criminals. Unless the fairtax compels criminals to remit sales tax on their illegal activities, criminals still avoid the fairtax in nearly the exact mannor as they avoid income taxes. Stick to legitimate points and not the fairytax smoke and mirror ones.

You need to see beyond this AR.

Nobody ever said the FairTax taxes criminal sales. That has never been said. That is a strawman to deflect from the fact that the FairTax does indeed collect more in fed tax from criminals. ANd this strawman doesn’t even attempt to address the illegals issue.

That the FairTax does not tax criminal sales doesn’t even represent a change from today.

But the nrst fully taxes illegals when they consume.
And it fully taxes criminals when they consume.

That criminal drug sales occur without having tax collected is no change from today.

Always Right,

Do you directly or indirectly make a living because we have our existing income tax? ( Just wondering.)

The Fair Tax would put a lot of government employees and tax accountant out of work.

You mean that criminals won't ever buy any new items or services -- they will only buy untaxed used items? Good thinking -- for you.
