Also, while nobody is prevented from opening an IRA, one has to have disposable income to do it. Workers living hand to mouth have no realistic ability to save for retirement.
I get your point but it is taxed when it is cashed in not when it is transferred.
That was the way it was with the bonds I received when one of my parents passed.

There are hundreds of Tea Party organizations all over the country. Are you claiming EVERY SINGLE ONE of them backed Scott?

Me thinks you are exaggerating a bit.

Hold on. Just because YOU don't know who someone is, it becomes an 'epic fail' on the part of the person trying to educate YOU?

Also curious how teaparty goes on and on about paying for entitlements while all the while they dont want to pay taxes, maybe they want everything for free as well.
The Tea Party does not want an America with no taxes and no government. The Tea Party wants an America with minimal taxes and minimal government.
