Likely wouldn’t put a dent (or nick) in the national debt either 😉
Blaming the rich and the phrase “fair share” are mostly political rhetoric.
(This isn’t a knock on your comment David just my opinion.)
As all of us would agree on, adjustments to both U.S. fed tax code and spending are much needed.
Randy, Interesting take worth consideration. Do you consider lower brackets to include up to 12% or 22/24? Maybe is driven by just how large one’s pre-tax accounts are before one embarks on the Roth conversions before RMDs?
Thanks for weighing in.
Mark,
I’m catching up on my HD reading.
Fun article, keep writing :)!
…and a bit jealous of your soccer (ah, football) and PGA championship solo day…sounded very fun to me ;)
Andrew,
A very thoughtful article, thank you for sharing. Also, your responding to all the commenters did not go unnoticed. Thank you for taking the time to respond to all.
Increasing tax rates might be worth a shot IF the increases come with a guarantee that all additional taxes raised be *applied 100% to the deficit* and NOT find their way to pay for other “things.”

Dick, All correct but the last sentence is a great summary statement.

I may have asked this before, but has someone run across any literature that discusses an optimal mix percentage of taxable/pre-tax/Roth?

Mark, Viewing a solar eclipse is an awesome experience. Had that opportunity in Ohio, April 2024. So cool! Good luck!
