Consider this: Traditional 401(k) retirement plans may actually work against you once you retire and start taking income. The reason, all of those dollars you deferred will be 100% taxable and count as ordinary income. This looming tax trap may occur at a time that could be devastating to your retirement income, considering that you don’t know what future tax rates will be.
Where are future tax rates going?
Taxes will play a vital role in the future, and may dramatically impact your retirement. Currently the United States government has more than $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and more than $15 trillion in debt. How are we going to pay off these debts? The only way the government can generate revenue is through taxes. With the exception of a few years in the mid-1990s, each year the US Government has spent more money that what it received in taxes. This spending has resulted in the significant amount of past debt that we have to pay off. Many experts believe we need to both cut government spending and increase taxes to repay the $15 trillion we owe.
