They dream of the votes they can buy with that money.
My guess? If Trump *doesn't* get elected, that'll be the keynote issue. Much like ObamaCare was in 2009/10.
Oh, there will be a legit excuse. The market will crater. MSM will trot out idiot after idiot who "Lost It All" in the market, and Mommy Government will take over retirement accounts to "fix" everything.
IMO, if that happens, pols will start decorating lampposts. Obamacare destroying the healthcare system and/or taking over people's healthcare is major, but a lot of people think, "Meh, I'm pretty healthy" or "Meh, it won't affect me" or "Meh, those rich SOB doctors had it coming, anyway". At least, until it's too late.
The IRS (or other gov't agency) confiscating people's money, on the other hand .... things will get frisky, quickly. Just ask anyone fighting over a will, money makes people do foolish things.
