Not really. Today private business is responsible for their own
income tax, state/local sales tax, employee social security taxes,
and employee income taxes.  With the NST they are only responsible
for one tax.  That is shafting them?

The NST does eliminate individual responsibility for tax, but it
also reduces business responsibility.  (and you still know you
are paying the tax because prices must say so)  The NST gets rid
of a lot of paperwork.
