Idiotic responses from other NRST flying monkeys:

"A home is NOT an investment, W/G, but merely a place to live."

It's amazing how many people view a home as an "asset," as well. It's a frickin' LIABILITY.

Keep trying to push your agenda by distorting the facts, bottom line is people will have a better standard of living with NRST along with more freedom.........

while there are differences in rates between the two plans the end result is similar to this study:

"Conclusion

This study examines the nuts and bolts of a comprehensive national sales tax replacement of the federal income tax. Many--though not all--of the features of the hypothetical NST constructed here closely correspond to the elements of H.R. 3039.

The 15 percent NST plan would have a highly beneficial impact on the U.S. economy and raise the standard of living of the American public. The tax compliance costs borne by our economy would fall sharply. And the degree of intrusiveness of the tax system in our lives would decline greatly. Once set free from the burdens of compliance with the current system and the punitive tax rates imposed on work, savings, and investment, the United States will become a more productive and more prosperous republic. A national sales tax is more compatible with the principles of a free society than any other alternative tax system. "

If the same entity owns a home as well as cash, the cash is at risk due to the liabilities a home creates. All liabilities should be owned by entities that will not endanger true assets.

The IRS is a state sponsored terrorist organization. If you don't believe that, talk to the innocent people who cringe in fear when they simply get a letter from the IRS. You got a better idea? Let's hear it.
