>If I were talking with Trump, Bannon , Wilbur Ross or Steven Mnuchin I would emphasize that congress repeat what they did in 1986. Which was a 1 time offer for US corporations to repatriate USD from overseas at a .0625% tax rate which is what they did with Reagan as President and Tip O'Neil heading Congress. John: I agree, and I like that one on top a lot. How about that once in a lifetime conversion of a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA? Or how about a once in a lifetime lower tax exclusion from traditional IRA's ? I'm thinking along the lines of the $250,000/$500,000 Home Sale Tax Exclusion that's in place now ,subject to rules. FWIW- I've been talking about this since way back when. P.S. RE: Trad/Roth The last time it was offered before. IMO it wasn't enough of a break to encourage investors to do so on scale.
