发帖数: 32 | 1 Obama goes where the money is to pay for 'free' education programs - your
savings account.
Bank robber Willie Sutton is said to have explained his career this way: "
That's where the money is." Well, this explains President Obama's plans to
go after middle class assets like 529 college savings plans and home
appreciation.
But relax, the President's plan would only apply the new taxes to future
accounts and all past contributions would continue to grow and then be
withdrawn tax-free. This aspect of the Obama plan is particularly valuable
to people like, well, Barack Obama.
According to a 2009 report, in 2007 "the Obama took advantage of a unique
feature of 529 plans that allows account owners to front-load five years'
worth of the contribution, $240,000 in total for his two girls." Of course,
his two girls are now in the most prestigious private school and not bound
for any 'free' community colleges. |
