[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GOP is in control and they want you eating cat food into your retirement. It will be your fault when you can’t make ends meet. [/quote]

Actually, many on the left oppose increases because it would almost exclusively benefit the relatively well-off.  The poor or even true MC already can't afford to contribute the existing max amount.[/quote]

This is true.  It is mostly the left who oppose this as a "give away to the rich".  Apparently anyone who prioritizes saving for their own retirement as much as they can is "rich".[/quote]

Let's be realistic. Being able to take 100% advantage of tax advantaged space is beyond the means of most Americans. Even Americans who are saving for retirement. Most people (even middle class people) just don't have the income level to do it. As for HSA's, the only way they are a good deal is if you can afford to pay all your medical bills and just leave the HSA money invested. Once again, most people can not afford this.[/quote]
