If the government will let me skate on paying taxes on today’s dollars, I will take that deal any day of the week. Yes, they are deferred but PVM tells us that even a tiny % for inflation will equal a very large savings years down the road.
Not paying taxes is good in my book.
Unless you are paid under the table, the government knows to the penny how much you make and have. Even if you are in a simple interest bearing checking account you get a 1099-Misc.
