Do you expect U.S. federal income tax rates in the future will be higher than today?
The answer should be obvious… At the trajectory we’re on, with massive government debts (not to mention future health care and Social Security liabilities), higher tax rates are a certainty. • Next question: Do you believe capital gains tax rates and dividend tax rates in the future will be higher than today? Obviously, this should have the same answer as the first question. • Last question: Do you think inflation in the future will be higher than today? This should be obvious, too… At the rate our government is “printing” money and spending it, future inflation is a foregone conclusion. If you answered “yes” to these three things, then you should seriously consider getting in on this deal. Here’s the story: The U.S. government needs your money now. So it’s willing to do something foolish to get your money today, instead of waiting until you retire. The government has created a loophole that allows us to exploit its desperation for cash. If the government were smart, it would wait,
