Are Retirement Plans (e.g. IRA, 401k) Another Scam to Steal Wealth from Middle-Class?

23 May

My reasoning:

See also the links on this Question for more info about my vision of imminent hyperinflation:

Actually the hyperinflation started a long time ago and only recently feeding back into prices (see exploding gap between nominal GDP/income vs. M3/debt):

.

===================
“ElOsoBravo”, let rephrase the question more simply for you:

With taxes in Western countries likely to increase drastically (baby boomer retirement, massive debts), what idiot would prefer to pay 50 – 80% taxes later on ALL HIS GAINS via the deferred tax scheme of retirement plans, versus paying 5 – 15% capital gains tax through 2010?????

And if you think the 50% – 80% tax scenario is unlikely, then how are we going to unbankrupt our negative -$20 trillion aggregate net worth?

.

================
“Veritatum17″ numerous errors:

* Max. capital gains tax rate is 15%, not higher even for millionaires.

* Roth IRA contributions are taxed at income tax rates, e.g. 35% max.

* Roth IRA withdrawals taxed at 10%+income tax, before 59.5 age

* Ratio, not “difference”, of GDP/M3 is economist’s theory of money, called “Velocity of Money Supply”.

* $4500 will become $45,000 or $450,000 with hyperinflation. Very big $.

* Investors (not “govt” seisure) will withdraw from IRA early, because dollar will become worthless in hyperinflation, they want to buy something real, e.g. physical gold or farm land.

* DinesLetter.com investments have increase 1000% in 3 years (36 months).

* CPI is a lie (hyperinflation is reality, see charts):

* “tighter money supply” is another lie

* USA lost manufacturing, infrastructure crumbling

* Govt will (has been) hyperinflate away the debt

What are your thoughts on Pelosi’s proposal to put a windfall tax on all retirements plans including 401K’s?

20 May

Nancy Pelosi is moving forward with a plan to immediately tax any money made above and beyond what you have contributed to your 401K or similiar personal retirement plan.

Can I rollover multiple 401(k) plans into the same rollover IRA?

09 May

I have two 401(k) plans with different employers and wanted to roll them over into a rollover IRA. Is it possible to open just one rollover IRA account and rollover both 401(k) plans into this account? I believe there is a 60 day rule of some sort with regards to rollovers, can someone explain that to me fully and how it would apply if I did multiple 401(k) rollovers?

I also wanted to convert that rollover IRA into a Roth IRA but would it count towards my Roth IRA contributions for the year?

how to contribute to both Traditional IRA and 401k plans?

05 May

I created a Traditional IRA by rolling over the money from my previous employer’s 401k before joining a new company for a new job. Now, the new company is offering 401k and I decide to make contributions to the 401k only. Is that true that the current amount of money from the Traditional IRA and the annual contributions to 401k together can not exceed the max limit ($15000 for year 2007)?

Thank you!

My company closed and all 401k plans have to be dist. or rolled-over. How long do I have to make a choice?

02 May

The company I worked for closed it’s doors without notice. Everyone was in the 401k plan (I was the Office Manager and handled the books). The plan was recently amended so all participants would be 100% vested when this happened.

My question is how long does one have to make the decision to roll-over to an IRA, etc. versus taking a cash distribution? I know the paperwork needs to be back in 30 days making this election. I guess what I am asking if someone takes a cash distribution do they have a certain time frame where they can open an IRA? Does it need to be done immediately, within 30 days, within 90 days, before 12/31/08 without having a tax penalty involved.

With the market just nose-diving many people are so very worried they will have lost large sums of dollars since they have being forced to cash out of the existing plan now. Others are worried they may need to take a Partial Distribution (if there is such a thing) to live off until they find other employment.

If anyone has input, I’d very much appreciate your help.
