Some quotes:
"...didn’t anticipate that the tax-deferred savings tool would largely replace pensions as big employers looked for ways to cut expenses."

"Some say it wasn’t designed to be a primary retirement tool ..."

"The great lie is that the 401(k) was capable of replacing the old system of pensions..."


My personal observation is that a lot of people simply do not have the intellectual, self-disciplinary or self-motivational skills to plan ahead, so they need somebody (like government) to take care of them.
