...proposals to confiscate workers' personal retirement accounts...

That is outright stealing. If the so-called law makers actually move on this, I say we sue them not only for loss, but for punitive damages as well. Since they can throw around 700 billion without too much concern, I think a few trillion in punitive damages ought to do it. You don't think it'll happen? Ha, the law firms will be lining up to take this on as a class action with "only" say a 10 percent contingency fee.

Seriously, taxation without representation led to a little dust-up a while back. Stealing people's retirement savings just might do it again. I realise they'd do it under the guise of protecting personal retirement accounts against loss. But really, when has the government ever been a good steward of money? Forget it.

We are represented. But too many Republicans wanted to teach the "Party" a lesson by losing that now we know what losing really means and we have no one to blame except ourselves.

Perhaps winning will get to be important enough to fight for, like these last few races that are actively being stolen. These last Senators could mean stopping the worst of this.. or having no hope at all.

The Democrats are at war against the American middle class. Just about anything you can think of that is representative of the American middle class the Democrats are fanatically against. You know the Lear Jet Marxists hate it that millions of middle class people are investors. They hate it that the little people have any say in their own fate.
