When someone answers you, ping me because I can't get an answer to that either.

They need to call this not the NST, but call it the "screw the anyone who saved some money tax."

What about money I've already accumulated as after-tax savings?

For example, $130,000 income. You pay $30,000 income tax. You spend the remaining $100,000 on five cars that cost $20,000 each. The $20,000 includes roughly $4,500 in hidden taxes passed on to you from the chain of suppliers to manufacturers to delivery/transport to car dealer.

Spending that same $100,000 under a NRST you'd pay about $15,500 for each of five cars -- $4,500 of hidden taxes have been eliminated --totaling $77,500 and fork over $22,5000 for the NRST. Your $100,000 savings goes just as far with a NRST as it does with the NRST.
