Who really will be best for your IRA?

Posted September 09, 2008 11:00 pm

In a recent Letter to the editor, Stewart Truelsen concludes: "I'd suggest Obama bashers check their IRA and 401K balances. Can you afford four more years?"

So I checked my IRA and found it to be well up again this year.

If your IRA is not up, it's because you have not made the right investments. I'd be happy to show you how it's done, but Democrats usually "just don't get it."

And then, "Can you afford four more years?" Tell me really if you think your IRA or 401K investments will be better off after Obama raises the capital gains tax, and the dividends tax.

Oh, and add on increases to income tax, Social Security tax, and inheritance tax, just to name a few.

Before you call for "change," stop and think again about just who will really be better for your IRA.
