We already do not have pensions, taking away private pension options such as these would condemn many to not ever being able to be retired, or to poverty.

There are over 150,000 individuals w/ a 401k balance over $1.0 million; there is little social benefit in providing millionaires with even more in a tax advantaged savings.

Most high income truly rich people aren't using 401ks for retirement, it seems to me that once again, people are going after the professionals who are squeezed in the middle, who already pay high tax rates because most of their income is wages -- doctors, lawyers, engineers, and avoiding the top 0.1% and others who amass vast returns and mostly avoid income taxes.
Maybe we could try going after the big fish first before we start raiding retirement savings?
