"where in the article do you read that retirement plans would be eliminated?"
nowhere. though, on the face of it, what's the point of an ira, 401k, 403a, 529 etc if the irs is eliminated? with only a VAT, stuffing money into an IRA seems indistiguishable from putting it into the bank or a brokerage account ... and with fewer restrictions.
