Create Universal Savings Accounts

The document says “shouldWho acts: CongressHow: legislationp. 696 in the PDF
What the document says

“All taxpayers should be allowed to contribute up to $15,000 (adjusted for inflation) of post-tax earnings into Universal Savings”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 696

The chapter proposes accounts holding up to $15,000 a year of post-tax earnings, indexed for inflation, whose gains would be untaxed and withdrawable at any time, and which would be flexible enough to hold investments such as a closely held business.

What the document actually says

“All taxpayers should be allowed to contribute up to $15,000 (adjusted for inflation) of post-tax earnings into Universal Savings”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 696
That sentence, in plain words

Let anyone put up to $15,000 a year into a savings account. It would come from pay already taxed.

What this is about

You pay tax on money you earn. Then tax again on what it earns. The book wants an account where the second tax does not apply.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
