It’s tied to the feminization of society. Professionals supporting their families actually voted for this guy who is completely adverse to them and their interests.

Did anyone actually read the article? This will affect very few people in this thread I would imagine.

If they’ve worked hard for 40+ years, then shouldn’t they be allowed to choose what they do with their money? They’re mostly good hard working people that likely raised hard working offspring.

A system designed to benefit retirement is being used as a system to benefit estates is going to be a problem for everyone not gaming (legally) the system for estate purposes.

I never said that. But, don't be surprised when the rules get changed because the system is supposed to benefit retirement living and not estate planning.

The way it’s described in the linked article isn’t bad. But they’ll immediately start moving the threshold down so the middle class is screwed by it.

It’s never enough for marxists.

It will actually benefit them. We don't have that high a concentration of 32+ on this board.

I hate this idea, though.

Absolutely agree. They’ll disguise so the government gets more of the money when someone passes away, rather than family.

The regulators are going to pull the rug on passive flows after fully financializing the economy

100% something else is going on and my guess is Blackrock and Vanguard have our backs (lol) and completely own the regulator so no worries

I don't think so. This isn't as big of a deal as people on this thread are making it out to be. High earners will still easiy be able to save for their retirement if they chose to do so. The way they do it will just change.

You have identified the entire problem with out economy. The stock market is not a freaking retirement vehicle but it will be regulated as such.

They have already changed the rules for RMDs, for instance. Now they are discouraging investment from High Earners who are more likely to be gaming system for Estate Purposes.

I no longer give a 'slippery slope fallacy' benefit of the doubt to ANYTHING these people propose.

But you are suggesting this is somehow harming anyone not doing this. How so?

99.9% of retirement savings are by the average worker. You can't penalize 99% because of a few who are wealthy enough to take advantage.

Can someone please tell me how this will hurt a single oilfield baw making $120k, or an oilfield baw with a working wife who make $300k combined. Thanks.

It harms the system because some pay taxes in real time and some pay them way down the road and if managed appropriately pay far less. This is not a good thing for the system or fair for ones that pay in real time.

I am MAGA as hell. But, it amazes me when people scream when democrats game the voting or welfare system then game the retirment/estate system and think it is A-OK.
