its a horribly regressive tax system even with the small number of exemptions you put on it. It would be a huge tax break for the upper economic classes.
I have seen analysis, that to institute a revenue-neutral national sales tax with modest exemptions, the sales tax would have to be in the range of 75-100%, not the 23% that the pro-NST (Repubs) like to quote.
