| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on money show. It is Sunday March 6th. And if you haven't listened |
| 0:08.8 | to yesterday's show, stop right now. Go listen to yesterday's show because that was the |
| 0:13.6 | first part of our interview with Ed slot. He is the IRA Roth IRA expert CPA. We really |
| 0:21.1 | covered a lot of ground just in terms of planning for taxes for this year. This is the second |
| 0:26.8 | part of our interview with Ed slot. Do you think that there, I mean, there's a lot of money |
| 0:31.5 | in Roth assets. So do you think that there is a world in which the Roth goes away? |
| 0:37.6 | No, I'll tell you, Congress loves. I mean, loves Roth IRAs. They're addicted to the income |
| 0:46.4 | it brings in. They will never tell you that because it's their golden goose. And why? Because |
| 0:52.2 | they are the world's Congress I'm talking about. They are the world's worst financial planners |
| 0:57.8 | on earth. So not take advantage of that. They only look at what they get up front. So |

| 1:15.4 | pet projects. So it's too good to be true. They won't kill their golden goose. Maybe they'll |
| 1:20.8 | trim around the edges a little and say, well, if you take a distribution, these other things |
| 1:25.6 | may be taxable or something like that. But they're not going to kill their golden goose. That's |
| 1:30.0 | just my feeling. And they prove it over and over again. For example, in the Build Back Better |
| 1:35.4 | Bill, it's like the worst. I know. I hate it. The BBB. Yeah. |
| 1:42.4 | There is a provision in there, separate from the provision I talked about that for high |
| 1:47.3 | income earners. They would ban Roth conversions outright. That's that provision. If your income |
| 1:52.6 | is over 400,000, single or 450 married joint, there would be a ban outright ban on Roth conversions. |
| 2:00.4 | The other part I talked about the back floor of that's after tax. This is all Roth conversions. |
| 2:05.2 | So now they're saying that they don't believe that high income earners should be able to do these |
