so let me get this straight - over 3 million would not be subject to the special rules of an IRA, and would be treated like, um, all other money.

awww, little timmy wants pie AND ice cream.

gotholic don't worry this won't impact you at all. you will die on the job flipping burgers er no mowing lawns er no... shit they got mexicans for all that... don't give up your paper route.

Ha! I will say this won't affect me. I do not have nor do I plan to get any such retirement accounts.

They have been talking about GRAs (Guaranteed Retirement Account) which would convert all of those trillions of dollars in IRA's and 401k's into fodder for the government. Theft on the highest level in history.

i don't like it.

however it's not theft if people sign up for it.

you make it sound like there will be compulsory conversion of ALL forms of retirement accounts into the gov bucket. that's not the case.

oh, right, "not yet."

Yes, not yet. If history has taught you anything, this will become mandatory. In order to help people accept it they must first make it voluntary. Just like when people were afraid the social security number would be used to identify you. They first said it wouldn't be and even had red lettering on the old cards stating so. Also, they even made social security voluntary but now have made it appear compulsory even though it is still not.

I wrote of this in POST #13.

You must have forgotten it even though you responded to it.

I even included a link to Harvard University Economic Policy Institute white paper which stated:

This paper proposes a rescue plan for the American retirement income security system, based on a mixed system composed of Social Security, employer defined-benefit pension plans, and a new type of personal retirement savings account called a Guaranteed Retirement Account. This rescue plan will not work without a strong defined-benefit pension system and a strong Social Security system. Tax breaks for 401(k)-style plans and IRAs will be converted into flat tax credits to offset the cost of these new accounts,so the plan will improve the retirement security of most Americans without costing taxpayers more than the current system.

Does this sound like something you have heard recently -- perhaps as recently as the State of the Union speech? I think he called them MyRAs though.

The plan calls for all workers not enrolled in an equivalent or better defined-benefit pension to enroll in a Guaranteed Retirement Account, a plan that borrows the best features of defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans, including guaranteed retirement benefits that last a lifetime, low administrative costs, and steady contributions. With Guaranteed Retirement Accounts, workers will accumulate savings in investment funds that earn a guaranteed rate of return guaranteed by the federal government. These funds will be converted to life annuities upon retirement. Along with Social Security benefits, these will replace approximately 70% of pre-retirement earnings for the typical retiree.

The federal government has its eye on your retirement account and all of the rest which contain several trillion dollars. They want that money.

Start reading the white paper at the bottom of page 2 under "How Guaranteed Retirement Accounts work."

Note the words "mandatory"; " the government ... will invest and manage the pooled savings"; "Contributions equal to 5% of earnings"; "additional contributions with post-tax dollars"; "Employee contributions are offset through a $600 refundable tax credit".

The crap goes on and on.

Enjoy your future.
