NST won't be what'll happen, though. It'll either be a dismantling/outsourcing of major functions of the government (Defense, Social Services, Education, etc) or a return of significantly higher tax brackets and tax rates for the higher brackets.

NST is a regressive tax that takes a higher percentage of your net worth/income the lower your net worth/income level is, which amounts to, instead of raising taxes on the rich, raising them on the poor.
