ftr-367	Stein, Norman	Slouching Towards a Consumption Tax and the End of Retirement Income Security	2022	45	.pdf	application/pdf	19123	960	53	23 On a broader and perhaps even more significant theme, as we amble down the road towards a tax system that favors savings over consumption, we also amble towards interference with our principal strategy to help working people save for retirement: using tax benefits to secure employer sponsorship of retirement savings plans covering a broad cross section of American workers. Several of the arguments I develop in this paper relate to my assessment that providing tax-benefited investment alternatives to employer- sponsored retirement plans would make it less attractive for employers to sponsor retirement plans, resulting in fewer and less generous plans.	cache/ftr-367.pdf	txt/ftr-367.txt
