Under what circumstances do taxes go up in the US?

Asked by burntbonez (5202points) February 20th, 2013

In planning for retirement, you want to pay taxes at their lowest. Right now, I’m in the 15% bracket. I could convert some retirement savings to a Roth at that rate, but not much.

In twenty years, will rates be the same? Will they go up to deal with the deficit? Will Congress not allow tax increases, no matter what?

Whither taxes in the US?
