Save for retirement : I already am seeing ads for rich people to put businesses and money offshore. I think people would literally dig a hole in their back yard to save their money, as Obama wants to tax retirement savings (no, not just the interest, the savings themselves).

Because Big Brother will be watching your income (and the internet) more harshly

Save for retirement : At what age would you consider a person has sort of missed the boat as far as ever having a carefree retirement with no financial strains if they have not previously saved for their future?

Save for retirement : and investments? At this time, I believe it is because the government prefers citizens to be dependent on it. It is nearly impossible for the middle class to save enough to be independent during retirement due to these taxes plus, why save if the government takes your money?
