The day they even consider taxing retirement savings, take your investments and put them into a Swiss account where our government can't touch them. Its not like income where the money has to come from the country.
--where the US government can tax them all they want, simply by taxing spending instead of income. The two main ways that lefties in conservatives disguies are trying to do that is by tax-hikes with tariffs and a new sales (aka flat) tax. Either way is a method that non-saving generation x'ers can use to confiscate boomers' savings.
Anyone who complains about having their savings taxed a second time (first as income now as spending) by even bigger government, is a 'traitor'.
