Many retirees are caught off guard by higher taxes when, at age 70-½, their required minimum distributions begin.

And that would have been the appropriate reaction, given how few people even knew the name of the mayor of South Bend, Indiana -- much less that he was one of the many Democrats running for president in 2020.
