I’m not sure anyone really thinks our country can handle the unrest of nationalize everyone’s IRA or 401K. I do.
Most Americans will do what they have been doing for years as Obama has grown increasingly tyrannical - nothing.
There will be no mass civil disobedience. There will be no skirmishes. Instead, the people will board the box cars.
A lot of interesting schools of thought. On one hand, some are convinced the market all of our IRA's and 401k's are invested in is so over valued that it is bound to crash in an event that people will talk about for 100 years. So it follows if the government seized all of it they would get essentially nothing because it has no value.
However, if the government decided they were going to seize foreign held assets, like buildings, property etc.... and if they decided they were going to focus on Saudi, Kuwaiti, Iraqi, Iran, Cutter, Pakistan, Lybian, Syrian, etc etc .... these foreign held assets.... well, who would be opposed to that? A very small number of people?
While boarding the box cars, they will thank the politicians who say, I am making a small change (confiscating the 401K’s) in order to SAVE SOCIAL SECURITY!
