<< Bank Rewards Gramm w/ Job | Main | Black Spot for Lautenberg >> October 08, 2002More Tax Cuts to the WealthyMillions unemployed and small investors facing a retirement desert. What's the priority of the GOP? Upping the maximum contribution to 401Ks to $15,000 per year-- largely a benefit for upper income families. The problem is that, due to how the tax law is structured, 401Ks almost exclusively benefit the wealthy with subsidies to the tune of over $60 billion per year. See my recent article "401K Pension Tax Breaks: A $330 Billion Boondoggle for the Rich." This is all as the GOP has blocked and delayed the real reforms that would protect the pensions of average workers, passing a "weak and ineffectual" bill in the House, according to AARP, and slowing real reform in the Senate.
