Do you put the maximum amount of savings into a Roth IRA each year? Do you know it was raised for 2013?

Imagine if you could save as much of your income as you wanted to without being taxed on it. You know, because you're the one who made the money. And then imagine if you could put aside a substantial amount because you knew that you could take it back out without a "penalty" if something unexpected happened, or if you had a large purchase that you wanted to save for.

Do you put $5000 each year into a Roth IRA?

No, I'd rather not be taxed on money that I put into an IRA.

It isn't taxed. Putting $5K into a Roth IRA each year not only gets you a deduction, but it also is untaxed when you withdraw it after you retire.

From what I understand, deposits into a Roth IRA are taxed. Traditional IRA's are taxed upon withdrawal.

Imagine if the US had a consumption tax replacing the income tax.

So rollover your traditional into a Roth. Here's the point: you don't even do the bare minimum of saving and taking advantage of the tax code's IRA advantages. So spare us the lecture of how if only there was no income tax your life would be so much better. Not really: you would just spend it all.

It doesn't matter whether listo takes full advantage or not. The point is that he doesn't have that option. None of us do. That's a byproduct of the income tax. It's a bug, not a feature.

Oh, and I'm not sure what your point is about rolling over a traditional into a Roth. No matter which way you do it, you pay taxes on one end or the other. If you start out traditional and then roll to Roth, you pay taxes in the middle. A traditional IRA is the closest approximation to the treatment you'd get from a consumption tax. But it's limited, so it's an inferior approximation.

Everyone has that option. Most people choose not to. Whose fault is that?
