hmmm, monthly income taxed at income rate levels versus lower dividend rates?

is your taxable income > 89K?
if your taxable income is not over 89K, never mind. .

monthly income taxed at 22% over 89K
versus ETF dividends taxed at 15% over 89K?

JUST CURIOUS, with high fees and higher taxable income bracket than monthly ETF bond and stock distributions, what was the rational from your financial planner for annuities?
