Also, they feds will have to ban cash transactions to implement a NRST. Otherwise, I might sell you my car, house, or airplane for cash.

Silly, there would be no NRST on your used stuff.

See previous post, to which I would add: Suppose I am an artist and paint a really nice water color worth $3,000 on the open market?

Or suppose that I go out in the woods and spend a weekend cutting and splitting firewood, which I then sell to my neighbor?

Or suppose I design a house (or a software program) for a client?

It appears that the people advocating the NRST have never designed or built anything in their garages and studios, but have always depended on a paycheck from somebody else.

Cash will have to be banned for the NRST to work. But that's OK. We'll just come up with a black market currency to go with the huge black market that will spring up. They'll probably have to ban gold and silver coins as well...
