Forget 401Ks. I don’t contribute to mine anymore. I don’t want the US Govt as my partner in retirement. They will change the rules on the 401Ks, if not outright confiscation of them altogether, later - mark my words. The counterparty risk of the 401K is way too high, IMHO. I’ll pay the taxes now, thank you very much.

"The purpose of the retirement income system is to promote an adequate retirement, not to promote tax sheltering through 401(k)s," testified William Gale, a co-director of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center at the Brookings Institution.

Soon, the Feds will be deciding what is an "adequate retirement" for each and every American - sounds like "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" to me!

FUBO!!!

In the coming weeks, Americans could face sweeping changes to the tax deferral status and funding strategies of their retirement plans.

Funny you should say that - my employer is coincidentally making administrative changes to our 401(k) plan right now. I wonder what prompted it?

If you’re Christian, White and middle-class...you’ll have nothing left when they’re done. You’ll be living in the ghetto with everyone else. It’s only fair....

They’re going to take our 401ks and give it to the Unions.

And they’ll lecture us about the goodness of their plan as they steal from us.

It’ll never happen? Yeah - they said that about Healthcare too....

The current view is that something is tax deductible, it is actually subsidized by the government.

I actually expect that the 401K law will be revoked or all the money seized eventually.

Of course. We have to ensure that people MUST rely on the GOVERNMENT for their retirement. Otherwise they may be evil promoters of freedom.

Will the House of Representatives vote “yes” on this crap? I doubt it.
