And don't forget about estate taxes, soon to be 45% of everything over $1M in valuation (2011). That sounds big, until you start adding up a house, possessions, an IRA, SEP or 401K. God forbid you have "stock" in your own company! Die in 2009 and your exclusionary credit is $3.5M, in 2010 it is unlimited. In 2011 and beyond...$1M is the credit. Throw in some inflation and slow to act politicians (just like the Alternative Minimum Tax) and the government is feeding the beast. RD…

In running youth sports programs that rely on volunteers, you find out that the volunteers are the same folks, often less than 10% of the group. The other 90% are way too busy to volunteer, or say "tell me when you need me" and then when you tell them they say "just let me know when". Bottom line, you can tell some folks once and they run with it. You can tell some folks a hundred times and they will remain uninvolved. You get what you earn!

Inflation, taxes, market crashes, natural disaster, theft, poor choices. Inflation forces risk taking to maintain buying power, and that starts the problem. Everyone competes to steal it from you. Even through the voting booth. Wealth is extremely difficult to keep. Inflation, taxes, market crashes, natural disaster, theft, poor choices.
