Yep. Precisely why any sweeping proposal to "Scrap the Tax Code" ought to be summarily dismissed, the same as proposals calling for a Constitutional Convention. Once it gets legs, who knows what atrocities will actually get negotiated behind closed doors? Only a moron would give them the opportunity.

Planning on doing away with Congress now?

Seeing as it doesn't take that to repeal the tax code, that's hardly a germane comment. Though to do away with Congress how they operate would would probably take a good deal more than just that.
And you call me extreme!

One thing is certain, under a visible NRST, folks will perceive the result of changing anything, through an immediate change in the tax rate they pay when they shop.
Under the current system, Congress can merely modify deductibility for some to transfer tax burdens around sight unseen in fact making it appear we are getting tax reduction while hiding ever more taxes in inflation by modifying the details on business taxation and deductibility.
I'll take the NRST visibility putting light on the closed doors actions of Congress, allowing folks to see what is being done to them, over the current situation anyday.
