<A big additional benefit concerns estate planning, traditional IRA's are decimated by taxes at death, while Roth IRA's are to be taxed like other assets.>

I happen to practice law in this area and tell most of my clients it would be foolish to pay income taxes now on the entire IRA

(1) There's an eligibility cap for IRAs, no? 150K->160K for
married couples... Is that gross or net. If the former, then
it just shows that Clinton thinks that the middle class in
Southern Cal is filthy rich. In Irvine, half of the adults
has a Bachelor's degree or better. Proffesional working
couples are the norm throughout much of Orange County and
the West Side of LA. We ain't rich, we just live in the land
of the 'muy jumbo mortgage' to the point where the notion of
non jumbo mortgage is a refinance on a home you've owned for
15 years. So, it's 401Ks for us.

(2) When we die, We plan to just leave just enough money for my kids
to get through a PhD is they want it, a brand new Honda each, and
the funerals. And if they are adults already, they'll just get the Honda and the funeral moneys.
