There was a thread yesterday inquiring where the “coming for 401k” comes from...

Here you go

Also, Sanders & Warren have openly talked about lowering RMDs and tax deferral on 401k

Well, congress is a one party group now, so that shouldn't be too hard.

Mark to market is one of the tools that Enron made popular and used to deceive their shareholders and the sec. I’m “sure” the federal government would not take advantage of this at all.

Yep. Lots of dollars there to steal. After all, 401(k)s are racist.

This is genius. Because they are idiots and will just spend it.


Yup. As Margaret Thatcher once said, "The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money."

Democracy


This is more like 40% voted to take away from the 60% that voted for Trump.

FIFY

Seriously though, think about it. They are now wanting to tax income people have not earned but may earn.

Crazy town.

Lowering RMDs would decrease taxes due.

I suppose they want me on the same footing as the 6 of 10 Americans who didn't bother to do without, and save, save, save to start a 401K. Tax mine to death could very well be the end of my supplemental health insurance I knew I would need one day. How nice of them!

It’s hard to even fathom how catastrophic that would be. This is one of the things you do when you’re either utterly stupid or else deliberately trying to crash the economy.
