The price of domestic goods would fall dramatically, and the price of foreign goods would rise.

False statement created by the sales tax lobby.

Real prices will remain essentially unchanged. We can't (sales) tax ourselves into prosperity.

Thanks. I agree with you and have argued the same point in the past.

As a manufacturer, I know that my costs will change less than 2% from the NRST, so no change will occur in my prices and yet, at the same time, the cost to my customers will go up 23% due to the NRST. Guess what happens to my business then and how many people I will have to lay off.
