I came across a recent post from former EBN contributor Richard Quinn, who posited an interesting question on his blog: Are 401(k) plans unfair? Or, more specifically the tax laws surrounding them.
Quinn leans on several sources, including the Center for American Progess, the Bipartisan Policy Center and stats from the Social Security Administration to lay out both sides of the debate as to whether 401(k) plans are unfairly skewed to benefit wealthier workers.
