It is mine and no one else's.
the inmates have taken over the ASYLUM.
Be very afraid.
What I suspect they will do is try to “means test” social security turning it into just another welfare program. I can just hear it now...”Do you think Bill Gates should get social security?” And tools like Gates will stand up and say, “I don’t need it... therefore you don’t need it either.” Pfffttt.
I can think of no better way to provoke law-abiding, self sufficient Americans, the quiet half of the country, to violence.
Oh yeah, suppose tomorrow you woke up in a national emergency and all 401(k)s were frozen and being transferred into the government’s social security coffers. What steps would you actually take?
I’d love to hear it. What are you alone going to do about it?
If they want a War this would be a good way to start it.
I’ve heard estimates that there is about $5 trillion of value of everyone’s IRA or 401K type accounts.
Remember that all of that money is tax exempt until people withdraw money at retirement.
So, with pools of money in the trillions that haven’t been taxed, how long before Obamabots, looking at their trillion dollar deficits, think up ways to start taxing everyone’s retirement savings?
If it happens, it will be all about “fairness” and all that. They will say the money will be taxed in the same way as other income, etc. They might say that it’s unfair that higher income people have been able to save so much money on their own, when we have so many poor grappling with poverty, yadda, yadda, yadda.
It would be sadly ironic if, after years of the government regulations encouraging saving for retirement, that they would change them. This could even make more senior citizens, esp. baby boomer age as they get older, even more dependent on a Social Security system which is going to go bankrupt.
What I'm going to do, is no longer be alone.
The rest, we figure out one day at a time.
They could then impose all of the Stalinist laws that they really want; civilian fire arms confiscation, travel bans, suspension of free elections, suspension of habeas corpus, suspension of free speech.
the Democralps would have full control of government for the foreseeable future.
Thas right!
Didn’t Clinton contemplate a a “one-time” 15% tax on all 401k/IRA accounts?
What are you alone going to do about it?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What tens of thousands of Americans have already done.

The answer to this question and others like it should always be;
"I think that Bill Gates should get back whatever he put in, because that's his money. It is neither illegal, immoral or irresponsible to be wealthy. And if Bill Gates wants to donate his social security money to the government then that's his right, and his alone".
We may well be in a situation where with ill intent and desire to control ALL THINGS they will make laws granting lifetime office to a dictator. Power hungry people like we are looking at now know no boundaries. Believe it!
And all the unimaginable things that it could/will mean. Who is to stop it?
Not so ... they are adamant and militant about it.
You are correct sir. Laura D’Andrea Tyson was the mastermind of taxing Employer contributions to 401k’s as Current Income and a retroactive 15% on them to make up for them not being taxed in the first place. Now she is an Obama economic adviser. Google “Mrs. Tyson’s Fried Economics” from National Review.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

What actually happens would likely be different.
It pains me to realize that what was once seen as "paranoia" may now be "prophetic."
