I am not one who believes that we should stiff those who have been paying into it all these years. But perhaps you are.

Here's How Much Ted Cruz's Untested Tax Plan Would Cost
excerpt....
Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz ....It looks a lot like a VAT, even if Cruz says it isn't.
In Thursday night's Republican debate, one of the most heated clashes was over tax policy that has never been tried in the U.S.
Marco Rubio said Ted Cruz's tax plan was merely "a way to blindfold the people so the cost of government is not there for them." Cruz fired back that his proposed levy was a "business tax that enables us to eliminate the corporate tax and the death tax, eliminates the IRS," and in the process, will shrink your federal tax return to the size of a postcard.
