At one point in the first Clinton term before the Republican revolt in 1994, Hillary’s special closed task force for healthcare had administration minions out on the street hinting of a “one time assessment” against ALL IRA, 401K, etc. retirement account to fund her nonsense.
The shady doings they produced during that time actually became the PPACA. As a footnote, has anyone ever wondered where the 2000+ pages of that legislate came from so quickly? Almost overnight. This is where.
More than a “revolt” is needed to deal with this kind of issue. A steady pushback is required.
