My assertion is that that scenario is at least as likely as the FT fantasy scenario that businesses will fall over themselves to immediately give every bit of any savings they get to consumers.

Mad Dawgg:"So Prices will increase 30% while Corporations will get an increase in profits due to paying less taxes and spending less on compliance and the customers buying habits will not change because the Corps will blame it on the NRST, is this your assertion?"

OK, where do consumers get this 30% more income to spend when prices are raised by the "EviL NRST"™ ?
