Savings,
Retirement and Social Security Reform
Government
in the Way
The Washington Times, January 31, 2005
By Ernest S. Christian
Judged by marketplace standards, government has a faulty
business plan and a product line with too many items. Most
don't work properly. All are grossly overpriced. Some are
given away or sold at deep discounts to favored customers.
Turning Roth IRAs
into Universal Savings Accounts
CATO Tax and Budget Bulletin, November, 2002
By Chris Edwards and Ernest Christian
In recent years, Congress has reduced taxation on personal
savings by cutting the capital gains tax rate and liberalizing
rules on pensions and savings vehicles. But large tax barriers
to saving remain, including restrictive rules on eligibility,
contributions, and withdrawals for savings vehicles such as
the Roth Individual Retirement Account.
