I am curious, will the view on annuities change if a certain candidate gets in office and is able to enact a tax on money not yet earned, aka unrealized capital gains?
No politics please, just asking how such a thing may or may not alter views on annuities.
Also, if one is seeking safety, but not stupid levels like a savings account whose interest is far below inflation, what is recommended? For a risk adverse person. Asking for a friend (and in this case, I really am.
