Can we discuss the legality of Roth IRA from a political standpoint?

The more I think about it, the more I question the ethics of this egregious manifestation of the law. Yes, it’s great that retirees are able to draw money without a federal tax, but can we all agree that having an account for only five years puts those who have saved for much longer at a disadvantage? How should that excuse an individual from withdrawal without taxation?

Don’t you pay tax on the money you put in?

Because they already paid taxes?

I don't understand what you are asking us to explain.

He didn’t mention race so you don’t need to be outraged.

quote:Because they paid taxes on the money they put into a Roth. If they put it into a regular retirement account, they wouldn't have paid any tax on the contributions but would pay taxes once they start withdrawing money. Simple as pay now or pay later.

Yes. I guess the OP loves double taxation

It's taxed as it goes in. Person is banking that tax in future will be less favorable than taxed now.
Traditional IRA exists where it's the reverse.

I thought I was missing something. OP seems a bit confused.
I wonder if he knows he can put money into his 409k after taxes.

Perhaps you are just looking to be outraged, or just not so good at math.
Posted on 1/10/20 at 11:57 am to lsudave1
Already taxed....and it's your money, not the feds. Get over it.
You can draw early for first time home buyer, education or medical....IT'S YOUR MONEY!!!!
Please send me your retirement money if you don't want it.

Right you can place money into your 409k after tax, but to what cost? I just don’t see how this is moral when the government hasn’t given opportunities to invest in companies with a larger economic footprint.

This sounds like gibberish, and I don't get to the point you're trying to make. You can use Roth IRA's to basically invest in whatever you want. I have friends who used it to buy gold, and I own Stock, Mutual Funds, and I think some Bonds using Roth.

You are either an epic troll or an idiot of epic levels.
