Quietly, behind the scenes, the groundwork is being laid for federal government confiscation of tax-deferred retirement accounts such as IRAs. Slowly, the cat is being let out of the bag.

Last January 18th, in a little noticed interview of Richard Cordray, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Bloomberg reported "[t]he U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] is weighing whether it should take on a role in helping Americans manage the $19.4 trillion they have put into retirement savings, a move that would be the agency's first foray into consumer investments." That thought generates some skepticism, as aptly expressed by the Richard Terrell cartoon published by American Thinker.

They see the end-game nearing and ONE THING stands in their way - 80 million Americans holding 300 million firearms.

Most of us are smart enough to know that Democide always happens once they have total control.

Might as well go out fighting.

If this took place, blood would be pouring in the streets, and many in power in government executed. That a’int gonna happen.

Except me, of course - guns are scary and bad so I traded mine for farm equipment....

Me too, except all of mine fell in the lake last week after a nasty boating accident.

*Retirement* accounts? Pharaoh will not allow the slaves to rest from their burdens. Now they must find their own straw, yet still produce the same number of bricks.

Describes to a tee the burden of the hard working taxpayer under PharO Tutti Frutti.
