Washington, D.C. – Last week Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) reintroduced the Retirement Inflation Protection Act (RIPA) of 2017.
RIPA will protect all Americans over the age of 59 ½ years old from paying inflation-induced capital gains taxes on assets like a house, a business, or stocks. This will help to ensure that seniors are only paying capital gains on real increases in value of an asset, thus, allowing them to keep more of their own money for retirement.
