They are coming for your money, and they will get it. One way or another. They will tax it, and they will take it in ways they don't call a tax. They will inflate it away and they will use what you have left to means test you out of other benefits which is the same as a tax.
Save, diversify and pay down debt. That's all you can do. You won't be getting any "tax free" income in a couple decades. And if you do, it will trigger financial hits every bit as expensive as a retroactive tax on what you thought was going to be tax free. The masses will vote for your money, one way or another.
Wow! I didn't know you could predict the future! And I didn't realize that our debt was "unrepayable?" That's news to me too. And the rest of the world. So entities, like foreign countries, are buying our government's bonds knowing that we're never going to be able to pay the back or we're going to turn on the printing presses until our money is worth nothing? Hmmm.....
