Yes. It is a consumption-only tax. The more you consume, the more you pay. It is also a wealth creation approach. The more you save and invest the less tax you pay. I joined the organization almost 2 years ago. FT

There is also a "hidden economy" (such as the drug empire, etc.) that currently "escapes" taxation but under a national sales tax, the drug wholesalers, distributors and dealers would also pay taxes on any normal consumer product they bought. This would add many hundreds of billions that are untouched now.
