Anyone think they won’t take your 401k or bank account when the time comes? Anything happening overseas will happen here.

American version:
“I see you’re a SAVER and don’t make withdrawals from your savings account for frivolous purchases. YOU are responsible for DESTROYING the 0bama ECONOMY and must be stopped!”

Pretty much. That’s why it’s important to hide as much as you can.

What are you doing with all that damn money sitting in that savings account? We need it for our socialist agenda! Hand it over, peon!
To: wtd
Someone does that to me...and I’m going to take action against those that robbed me.

It's been spoken of.....
Just as taking your 401K and Nationalizing Oil Companies has been totally SPOKE on RECORD by those "representing" us.

I lived in Australia a few years. They’re several years behind us in technology, and several years ahead of us in social(ist) engineering.

That’s amazing, three years passes by in no time and we think of our savings as ‘money in the bank’.
Sometimes we hit hard times and just want to pretend to forget about the savings account, and live without it until we can recover, and all the while we think of it as our last ditch little nest egg, hidden from the travails and struggles of our temporary down period.
Sometimes we just don’t have any activity to do in regards to it, for a few years.

I thought they just elected a conservative govt. Well, maybe the PM is pro-business, anti-AGW, but with this gun confiscation law and now pilfering “dormant” savings accounts, that’s wholly unacceptable - I could never live in such a place... however, I don’t trust our Congress not to go the same direction. Pitchfork time!
To: wtd
THE federal government has seized a record $360 million from household bank accounts that have been dormant for just three years
The state of California does this now. I checked on one of my accounts a few years back to find that it was in a preliminary state for seizure. In order to get it out of this state, all I had to do was execute a simple transaction. I think I transferred a dollar.

This is the kind of thing that’ll get you a bullet between the eyes.Aussies plan ahead, though. That's why they banned guns first.
