I'll pay more with NRST because of several reasons. One, we will still have an income tax. If you are sure the IRS will be shut down and the income tax outlawed then you are clairvoyant and should head to your nearest casino and place some bets. Secondly, I have a lot of formerly earned wealth that I like to spend but under the income tax it isn't taxed now. With the NRST it will be as soon as I spend it. Can you imagine that, generation X'ers have figured out a way to tax the boomers in retirement. Can you beat that?

This is just another positive reason to support NRST/Fairtax. :D

The FairTax will indeed do away with the income tax and, BTW, I don't go to casinos (can't afford it since the income tax has all my spare change.

The FairTax when passed will no doubt kick off the biggest spending boom in years from those in your position unless they decide to invest their money and get even richer - which would also boost an economic boom.
