But under the nrst, he drug dealer pays 100% of his taxes

But he pockets the sales tax he is suppose to collect and remit. He is legally liable to remit 23% of the tax for the goods he sells, but does not. He is absolutely not paying 100% of his taxes he owes. How can you keep repeating that?

Those aren't his taxes, income tax boy. His taxes are paid when he purchases things.

So the drug dealer will pay 100% of his taxes under the nrst.

And are you really saying the drug dealer is going to up his price to include sales tax??!!!

You're on your own on this one! Nobody thinks the aggregate is changing. Hell the bill is revenue neutral! But the drug dealer pays only a portion of his taxes now.

Under the nrst, he pays 100% of his taxes.

One's full tax burden is paid thru purchases.

Because that is "illegal income". No one (except you SQL types) has ever said the FairTax taxes illegal income.

To state that (as you do) is nonsense.
