All people who oppose the economic idiocy of the NRST are not SQL. And what increase are you referring to and what makes it "rational" in your eyes?
I presume by all the posting of the "f-ing" comments that those refer to "FairTaxing", do they not? And don't disabuse yourself of reality - several FairTax supporters are business owners and in general those supporters cover a wide spectrum of Americana.
Even intelligent people can be easily swayed by their emotions. Hating the income tax does not automatically mean you should support a worse system.
The FairTax - as has been shown - is not "on top of" your current prices, either.
Are you just nuts, over? If I sell an item for $100, the customer will pay that price plus all state, local, and federal taxes. Under the NRST, that would be at least $136.00
Read #833 to see that the poster agrees with the increase in prices of 20 - 30%.
Since from the concerns you offer you show yourself to prefer the existing tax structure, that qualifies you as being one of the SQL crowd.
If not, then do some serious research about the FairTax before starting the hipshooting. You can do it in these places:
