And yet -- in the United States, I can hear the distant drum beat of socialism and 'fair' taxes. We have the 2nd highest corporate tax in the world (35 to 39 percent), and a very progressive tax rate at the individual level. They want it more progressive.....

The figure he mentioned was 15%.....

So, I'm wondering out loud -- are these 401k/457/403bs.....a big huge tax trap?
