Thanks to our Soviet style government, I’ve liquidated all “investment type” investmets. No 401k, or any others. It’s all in physical assets or cash. Every single bit of it.

At least, so far, those things are not subject to any federal tax. I’ve had it with those guys.

Don’t be fooled by the current occupant of the Oval Office.
He wants all the money all of the time.

Old people who have saved their entire lives need not worry, they will be safe and sound under government programs like medicare and Social Security.....

They will be taken “care of” once their plunder has been confiscated from their greedy hard working hands and placed intot he state, as will their “care”....

And the state will be merciful if they get really sick as they will be “humanely dealt with”.... By das state of cvourse!

Unless the company is selling to the US government (like Boeing) or needs the protection or "protection" of the US government (like many oil companies), I can't think of any reason why a multinational company would want to be incorporated in the US anymore. And that is not a good position for a country to be in and needs to be fixed. Instead Obama is acting like a wife beater who responds to complaints about a black eye by giving the victim a matching set.

The below quote provides the context to the title:

S&P 500 companies represent about 80 percent of publicly traded companies and earn about half their profits abroad. Imposing U.S. taxes on top of the foreign taxes they already pay will push down dividends and stock prices for companies like GE, Ford and Procter and Gamble. Those are well represented in many Americans’ retirement portfolios—and the president’s proposal would thereby impose a stealth tax on the elderly.

There are many Republicans and others who also want what the Democrats want. These people stay on the fringes believing such a spot shields them from consequences.
