The worst part of NST for me is the fact that there ARE people who legitimately don't need to be paying taxes. You take a family of four making $23,000, everything they spend is for essentials. I have no problem excluding them from having to pay taxes.

How would you do that? Have them report income like now and get an EITC to make up for the estimated sales tax? Then you would still need an IRS and of course the estimate would not be accurate unless all of their spending was recorded in government databases.
