Windfall Tax on Retirement Accounts Just Another Hoax

Retracted…

Last week my father sent me an email regarding a Windfall Tax on Retirement accounts being proposed by Nancy Pelosi. It made me pretty mad so I wrote about it here on my blog. Unfortunately, and uncommon for me, I published my blog without checking on the validity of the email. Since it already said that it was checked against snopes.com I made the mistake of trusting it. Well, after the fact, I decided to Google it to see what was up since I hadn’t seen anything about it elsewhere in the news. My suspicion was confirmed when I found that even snopes.com listed it as false and an urban legend as well as many other sites. I apologize for jumping on that bandwagon and I’ll make sure to check the source in the future.

    Interestingly was, but there is someone who does not quite agree with the author?
