Worse, you'll be clipped 15-33% of that nominal gain in stocks, and that will not keep pace with the inflation which will confront your deferred retirement.

The reality is that they will need to generate 20% inflation per year for many years in order to get the tax receipts ahead of the war machine and the corporate welfare state, oh, and a few bits in Medicare and Medicaid and unemployment and maybe a trace for SS benefits to keep the rioting down to a dull roar.

By the time they are done, our standard of living will be about 1/2 of what it is today, if we are lucky.
