as johnny carson once said, "if life were fair, elvis would be alive, and all the impersonators would be dead." i'm not antitax or antigovernment. i'm a consumer advocate. and there's no reason to pay too much or too soon because you didn't know what to do. i'm proud to be an american paying taxes, but i could be just as proud for half the money. how about you? taxes can only increase at this point. the government is going broke, and it's only going to get worse. even the fed chairman says so. look at this recent quote about higher taxes. he says: so the government's financial problems have become our problems. so who pays? we do. because our tax system is a penalty on savers, a penalty on everyone who did everything right and played by the rules. so the big message is that you and your loved ones have to protect your retirement savings from taxes and have to avoid making costly tax mistakes that often cannot be fixed. so first, you have to know the difference between tax deferred and tax free. tax free is better. write that down. tax free means you'll never pay tax on it. tax deferre
