             F. Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd., Proposed by Francis E. Townsend, a former Army doctor, who at the age of 66, had found himself both poor and unemployed. He came up with a crackpot idea of how to help the millions of other older Americans that were in the same boat as him. He wrote a letter to a newspaper. In his plan, the government would pay $200 a month to everyone over the age of 60 who agreed to stop working. The only catch was that the money couldn't be saved. It had to be spent within 30 days. The plan would be paid for with a 2 percent federal tax on every transaction in the country. Not only would the plan allow many older people to retire, it would open up jobs for the young. By giving the elderly greatly increased purchasing power, it would help get the economy going again. The elderly loved the plan and started circulating petitions and sending them to newspapers. Clubs sprang up. Townsend incorporated his movement as Old Age Revolving Pensions, Ltd. A year and a half later, Townsend's supporters claimed there were 7,000 Townsend clubs in operation, and some 25 million Americans had signed petitions calling for the enactment of the plan.
