Absent from your analysis the the fundamental change in the tax environment.

Specifically, the nrst when passed will put heavy downward pressure on taxes and hence spending.

IMO, that is fundamental to the argument.

I agree Principled, and think equally important to acknowledge is that on honest principle and integrity a consumption tax honors the individual/person as primary ...Not a "pay-your-fair-share" collective wherein the group has precedence over the individual. Sacrificing a portion of the individual/person for the supposed betterment of the group, no matter the size/portion, fails honest principle. Honoring the individual as primary offers the greatest potential for increasing prosperity and well-being for all persons and society.

The smallest minority is the individual -- one person. By respecting and protecting individual life-and-property rights the majority and society is protected. Sacrificing any portion of the individual to the group violates individual rights.
