It doesn't eliminate tax audits, but it sure makes them a lot less painful

I'd like to know how that works. At the flea market near me there are people selling new merchandise without collecting sales taxes. Presumably that's illegal now but not enforced. Under the NRST, I presume there would have to be on-site enforcement?

But the people selling it, bought it somewhere. With the Fair Tax they have aleady paid, someone, somewhere.

People at flea markets bought it somewhere when it was new. Or from someone that bought it when it was new.
