I don't have a problem with a VAT tax in fact I think that financial transactions should be subject to some transfer tax.
It is your money, tax paid .... Leave it in your mattress , use it at will , and you will pay no further INCOME tax .

But if you put it to work ( stocks, real estate, etc ... ) and that brings back a PAY , that pay is to be taxed ( maybe at a lower % ) .

The gov could give an exception level ( here in Canada 500K) , but there is no reasons why only SALARIES should be taxed ....
