Roth IRA's are savings accounts funded with after tax dollars. So, there should be no income tax due when you withdraw money from a Roth IRA, right? Well, if the government has its way, that might not be the case. There is a provision in the House tax bill to tax IRA withdrawals even though the government promised that would never happen. It's the same promise the government broke regarding Social Security benefits. The solution? Pass the FAIRtax.
