How will minorities feel about this? Who cares?
I care. We have to earn their votes too.

Exit148 was talking about 'the minority', i.e., the congressional dim's.

They won't like it because they will perceive (rightly or wrongly) that they, who are disproportionately at the lower end of the economic spectrum, will pay a larger proportion of their income to a consumption tax than will wealthier whites. however, a rebate to the poor will alleviate this perception. also, they might look down the road eventually and see the prospect of a 'desert bloom' when because of the NRST, people SAVE instead of sending money to the IRS .
