Defending the U.S. Retirement System

The U.S. retirement system is under attack from misguided policymakers and academics, some of whom want to end important tax benefits for retirement accounts. 

Americans with an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or similar account have a huge stake here. With major provisions of U.S. tax policy set to expire in 2025, policymakers must preserve the tax advantages that many retirement savers rely on. They should build upon the success of the current retirement system—not jeopardize it.

Retirement in the U.S.

The vast majority of Americans benefit from tax-advantaged retirement accounts.

Average household retirement assets are nearly ten times what they were 50 years ago, when adjusted for inflation. This surge in wealth has been propelled largely by IRAs, 401(k)s, and similar accounts, which provide retirement security for families of all backgrounds and income levels.

Historic Support for the System

"When you see the rest of the world—when you see the shift in policy in Japan right now—they want 401(k) and IRA-style opportunities in their [retirement] marketplace. They see a huge benefit to the domestic economy and the social safety net to do this. And they’re making an active choice to be like the United States.”

– Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC)
