The idea is that taxes will likely go up, pay the taxes now and enjoy a tax free retirement stream from the Roth.
However, we can’t rule out the possibility that Roth income gets taxed in some form in the future, because liberals can’t stand the idea of tax free retirement income. Maybe transaction taxes if not outright confiscation.
Good points, when it comes to government nothing is secure, which begs the question, why are so many enamored of putting all their eggs in the government basket?
