Tax increase for the middle class
Here we go:
http://www.carolinajournal.com/artic...y.html?id=5081 Eliminating the 401(k) for middle class earners and replacing it with a laughable $600/year contribution will increase taxes for the middle class. Let's say you're putting away $10,000/year in a 401(k). You get to pay about 2000-3000 less in taxes for that year and save %10,000 for retirement which is taxed upon withdrawal. Under the Big O's plan you will pay 2,000-3000 more in taxes because you have no 401(k) deduction anymore and have $600 saved for retirement through the new plan - a net loss of about $1400-$2400. No tax increase at all! You just have to pay more because you can deduct less. 30 years of retirement savings under the plan will give you a whopping $18,000 plus interest! Figure that's about $3,000 in today's dollars. Hope! |
