38. It would also totally screw the elderly
Who already paid taxes on their income when they earned it and under this system would be taxed a second time when they spend money out of their investments or Social Security.

Try proposing that all Social Security income be taxed at 15% and you'd get AARP on it in no time. But somehow this thing is flying under the radar.
