Either the flat tax or the NST will reduce the cost of compliance, and those savings will be passed on to the marketplace, which may or may not mean a change in prices.

Yes that is a fair assessment. The problem I have is that the sales tax folks always minupulate the statistics to show how everyone will be saving a ton of money in taxes, when in fact the same amount of taxes are being paid.
