many years that the government will absolutely cook Gen X and Elder Millennials with some sort of change to the RMD schedule on qualified retirement accounts and then the imposition of a massive surtax on Social Security disbursements if your RMDs are above some threshold. It would be sold to the proles as a tax on rich fatcats but it would leave the actual SS tables unchanged while backdooring in something like a 75% effective cut to benefits if you showed a modicum of responsibility while you were young. I haven't made a 401K contribution in almost 10 years because I'm so positive the tax drag on getting the money out is going to be so fucking bad by 2040. There's just too much money in those accounts for the government to ignore.
