    My Conversation with AI About Future Taxes - Part 2

    Will your taxes inevitably double over the next 10 years? In this video I continue sharing my conversation with AI about the future of tax rates. We will continue highlighting critical items and issues that you may want to pay attention to including IRMAA surcharges and other costs. We talk constantly about the threat of rising tax rates, mounting national debt, and the future of Social Security—but everyone seems to have an opinion rooted in politics or speculation. In this session, I sat down with an AI to run the cold, hard fiscal math. We looked at the Congressional Budget Office projections, mandatory spending trajectories, and what tax rates would actually have to look like if the government tries to balance the budget without spending cuts. The numbers the AI returned might change the way you plan your retirement and investment accounts forever.
