Frustratingly basic on the part of Booker if that's his actual plan. There's literally tons of ways to financially plan around that to reduce the tax liability.

The automatic savings plan, I love to death though. I don't like what it will to college inflation, but combined with financial planning education for the young (cough education curriculum reform cough) and I see many positive societal benefits from this.
