>>This is old news. I still don’t think they can confiscate our private savings (401Ks).
They didn’t think FDR would shut the banks down either. I would be wary of thinking that Versailles can’t do anything.
Of course, this will lead to Civil War - or slavery.
But they can tax them look at what they did with IRA’s IRA’s were just like 401K’s back in the 1980’s. Tip O’Neil came in and said that they were a vehicle for the rich and the IRA’s went away and they were brought back some time later in the form of a 401k.
I’m not so sure there will be an outcry, rather I think the same idiots who elected Obama will embrace this.
Think about it for a moment. Those are the same people who believe, erroneously, that the government should take care of them.
I wouldn’t be so worried if I didn’t believe the words of Rahm Emanuel:
“Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” Mr. Emanuel said in an interview on Sunday. “They are opportunities to do big things.”
They will use this financial crisis to herd the sheople into Communism. Mark my words. They aren’t “fasciest bastards” they are COMMUNIST BASTARDS.
"They" are Obama and his wealth-spreading Democrat pals in Congress, and if "they" have a filibuster proof Senate for the next two years, "they" can do any #@$%^#* they want to.
Well, let’s see...a DhimmiRat President, a DhimmiRat House and DhimmiRat Senate... They can pretty much do what they want, until the people challenge them, forcibly if necessary.
This socialist claptrap needs to be stopped, and quickly. I read somewhere that there has not been a rolling twenty-year period since the start of the twentieth century in which the stock markets didn’t advance. So, why are these communists trying to take over our PRIVATE retirement funds over this near term market correction?
Admittedly, the market has suffered. BUT...the damage done has been a result of the LibTards ramming the CRA down the throats of lenders, for starters.
I’d rather they just get the hell out of the economy, altogether. They’ve managed to muck it up completely. WHY would we think they are the same folks to fix it? Sounds like a classic example of the definition of insanity...
I don’t think we’ll get any notice or choice in the matter. That’s why I am seriously considering pulling every penny out of my 401(k) and IRA. Yes, I’ll take a terrible tax hit, but I’d rather have something left rather than nothing.
You’re not going to get any choice or notice. I think we have to be proactive here and let our elected “representatives” know that we will not stand for this under any circumstance.
Two honorable justices objected to SS on 10th Amendment grounds. They also rejected “general welfare” baloney out of hand.
FDR's threat of court packing had the desired effect. Much of his New Deal passed court muster.
A pubbie would have been impeached several times over had he tried similar intimidation of Scotus.
I don't think that they'd be fool enough to try it.
If only 1% of the folks affected were crazies and 1% of those decided to "do something about it", there'd be a lot of hell to pay in DC. They know it.
Why did the American people turn in their gold in the 30’s? The government told them it was for their own good, for their protection, etc.
The country is unnerved. I’m betting the vast majority of the citizens will embrace this because they believe the LIE that the government can or will take care of them.
One needs to look no further than the unfunded liabilities of Socialist Insecurity and Mediscare to know that is patently false.
You seem to forget that the country elected a man who promised nothing more substantive than “hope” and “change”.
The idiots are running the asylum. We are outnumbered. I believe the majority of my fellow Americans will embrace this.
And the people should have staged an armed uprising then. But they didn't.
Oh really??

only about 20 posts of it in various forms...
They should have, they didn’t and we’re even more acquiescent now.
My 33-year-old daughter refuses to believe this.
I used quotes around the entire title. Didn’t return any hits.
Again where the Republicans?
This should be a major issue in the Georgia Senate race.
Chambliss has a made to order issue.
I keep wondering what will be the tipping point for decent American people. Another Boston Tea Party is way overdue. Maybe this will be the catalyst.
All those Obammy voters wanted change, well here it comes!
You think wrongly.
