For those who have enough savings to live off of their income, this is a windfall

Dead wrong. This is the person who stands to lose the most under the plan.
-------------------

S9, I wrote about those people who STILL have income coming in from interest on their investments. For MANY, this is into the millions of dollars. Those living off social security are among the lowest earners and as you say will be hurt the worst. My statement was NOT "dead wrong". A sales tax of any kind is designed by the wealthy FOR the wealthy. NOT for people on limited fixed income, or those who are just starting out. Peace and love, George.

The amount of spending by the federal government needs to be reduced rather than hammering the hell out of the people and families who end up spending most of their income on goods. This president not stopped the rise in federal spending and now wants to go for the throat of the taxpayer.
