color of money chat q: will the government start taxing Roth IRA distributions at some point in the future because money?

Q: Roth IRA

Do you think that as the government needs money in future years that they won't subject ROTH IRA's to some taxes (just as they did with Social Security). I'm sure they would never tax the contributions, since they were from after-tax money, but the earnings????

  - They'll have to retire someday as well - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 10:38 4
    - I don't know general trends, but in the plans I have that allow roth in the 401k it universally skews to the older crowd (40+) -- nm - decline Jun 30, 10:40 3

        I think this is more about awareness and interest than strategy. - psilotum Jun 30, 11:01 1
        
        Could be. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 30, 11:10
