“...the Takers never do well even with their theft....”

Indeed. When you have no self-respect, you can never have any respect for anything else. And it shows in all they do, and in how they behave.

Obama must have concluded that too many white families had 529 accounts.
Bingo - we have a winner!

The fact Americans need to use 529’s in the first place shows how ridiculous and complex our tax and education system are

Then to be a D-bag, Obama puts another curve-ball on that.

Yes. And also the middle class in general was not being destroyed fast enough.

I'm about to open up a Fidelity 529 for my baby daughter, but am hesitant due to the way the Feds can basically make it a worthless and costly mistake with the stroke of a pen.

Would it be better to invest in a traditional investment plan, savings account, CD’s, under the mattress?

There just seems to be no predictability anymore in any Gov’t approved tax deferred plan.

Re your story about your co-worker:

Did this permanently put a damper on your relationship, because he was an AA freeloader for his daughters and smug about it? Is he otherwise competent... or an AA himself? Just curious on your thoughts and how you handled it.

I give things like that to the Lord to settle.

No one will ever doubt that your kids did not earn their degrees instead of being handed them as an affirmative action

No one will hesitate to engage their professional services unlike the doubts some have about engaging the services of someone with an education that was bestowed, not earned
