Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I don't imagine too many self-employed people have 529s.
You're right that self-employed people (and "contractors") get screwed over by the federal tax system. I remember what it was like to be a "contractor". The solution isn't to construct a tax system that the wealthy get the vast majority of the benefits from that the self-employed can also occasionally claim.

HSAs are a racket, too.

HSAs, a snake-oil favorite of right-wingers, are tax-sheltered savings schemes that typically come with high-deductible health insurance policies attached. If you need a doctor, you can dip into the savings account, because you’re going to have to pay thousands of dollars out of your own pocket before the insurance kicks in.


But you knew I'd say that. ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New well since the fed has decimated the savings market
the only benefit is investing pre tax dollars. An HSA doesnt need to have a health plan attached.
