If you cap, it's just a tax, but if add a fourth bend point, it's still a benefit. You can make the multiplier 5%, 3%, whatever, but not zero. Same theory as progressive income tax rate, 90% <1. 110

ReadingWarrior @readingwarrior.bsky.social · 08/08/2026The next time Trump talks about burgeoning 401k balances, someone needs to explain they can't be accessed unless you (a) quit your job, or (b) qualify for a hardship withdrawal. All withdrawals are taxable and subject to an additional 10% penalty for those < 59.5 years of age. 221
ReadingWarrior @readingwarrior.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Zero sum vs positive sum games. But Trump has popularized a third type: the negative sum game. GOAT. 110
