You are asking the wrong questions and using a poor example with the air line industry which is essential government own as it is.

Business can either decide to sell cheaper products or they may decide to offer 'better' products, actually increase cost of production.

Either the flat tax or the NST will reduce the cost of compliance, and those savings will be passed on to the marketplace, which may or may not mean a change in prices.

Yes that is a fair assessment. The problem I have is that the sales tax folks always minupulate the statistics to show how everyone will be saving a ton of money in taxes, when in fact the same amount of taxes are being paid.
