I agree, we should all do our homework, because the media is in the tank for one of the candidates.

They want to go reverse privatization, they want to take our private accounts from us and put it back into the social security system. If they do try this, I will find a way to cash out as much as possible, even with penalties, and stick it into other investments, even if I am taxed.

Prayers for the election conducted at my church last evening. Great sense of unease among many people.

No matter who is elected, the ideas are out there, the seeds of Marxism have been planted. The dems will only stop now when blood has been spilled.

In the early 1990’s, the Clintons wer trying to figure out how to tax the assets in qualified retirement plans - IRA’s, 401(k)’s and pensions.

I hope this gets wide coverage - this will turn a lot of people -

But I heard that plan almost 30 years ago when I infiltrated a NO PRESS meeting in our state of the DSOC - Democrat Socialist Organizing Committee - (I was an investigative reporter for a state-wide paper att) - They laid out their strategy to infiltrate and take over the Democrat Party - and among their goals; “We must control the retirement funds.”

They're on the brink of total Socialist takeover of our country. Get everyone you know out to vote - or get ready to live under a dictatorship = for several generations.

Most people that work and make under $250,000 contribute to 401k plans. Their contributions are not taxed. Take that away and you have a tax increase on the middle class. Also, everyone who does not currently contribute will have to, so they are getting a 5% pay cut. And the most important thing, the money is going to the government. Want to bet that they put the money the same place they are putting the social security money.
