in EVERY country that has instituted a NRST the Income tax came back.

This fact if true does not imply a causal relatsion between consumption tax models and failure of those models.

Please tell us:

1) Which countries have implemented failed consumption taxes

2) What era or year they did so

And give any links you may have that go into detail the model implemented...

Which countries have implemented failed consumption taxes.

Should be restated as a NRST that was instituted and the income tax came back; and the question should be addressed to Leto to whom I posed your same challenge to find an example of where a NRST was fully implemented replacing all income/payroll taxes.

The answer is none. Therefore Leto's earlier remark, to which I was replying, has no referent and is not germane to the issue.
