Default Re: Roth taxed in the future?

I don't think they would ever tax the contributions, since those have already been taxed and there is a double taxation issue there. They could decide to tax the earnings, in which case you'd be no worse off than if you had invested in a traditional IRA or a 401K since those distributions are already taxable.

Realistically, though, I don't see that happening.
