Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz introduced the Invest America Act on May 12, hoping to give every newborn child a $1,000 seed investment from the federal government.
The bill aims to create “a private tax-advantaged account with a $1,000 seed investment from the federal government for every American child at birth,” according to a statement from Cruz. Each of the investment accounts would be open to contributions from all individuals, including friends, family members and businesses, allowing up to $5,000 annually.
“The account investments can be placed in a broad, low-cost fund that tracks the S&P 500, growing tax-deferred until the individual reaches age 18. Distributions after age 18 would be taxed at the capital gains rate,” the statement stipulates. (READ MORE: Tim Burchett Asks Congress To Defund Terrorists)
