First of all a free people don't want the government to use tax to "incentive" anything. The best incentive is freedom from government interference and coercion.
Secondly, a "national sales tax" (NST) should be limited to the final customer purchases at the cash register. Anything else especially upstream form the final purchase is VAT and "incentives" undue government intrusion and interference as well as more hidden tax. So you need to do away with the terminology of "production" as well as "consumption" and until the 16A is repealed, the whole discussion of NST.
No. Production and consumption at the retail level is the essential element in an economic sense.
Unless the tax paying base is broadened and production is encouraged, we end up 94 million americans not working and over 50 million on food stamps.
50% of the population pay no federal income tax. There is a real danger of the system collapsing if we do not significantly broaden the tax paying base.
Eventually, the producers ‘Go Galt’ and we have big problems like Greece.
