When you're lined up with the folks who have a lot of money, you've always got the political wind at your back. My main worry is that it will be just as easy as it looks, and capital will keep its outsize political clout forever. Who's going to vote against tax breaks for capital? Not the people with Roths. And not the people who don't even know what they are. Insofar as America even has a Left, what it wants is to tax corporate earnings, not to shut down retirement saving incentives. I run in lefty circles (obviously), and I don't see *anybody* who wants to hit any part of the IRA benefits. It never even comes up. It's not on anyone's radar. So sleep at night, man :-)
