The welfare state and your life savings are two cars heading down a one-lane road in opposite directions. One must yield, or there will be a crash.
For Americans who believe in the old-fashioned virtues of hard work, self reliance and respect for private property, the solution is obvious. The welfare state must yield.
For politicians who believe in the welfare state and redistributing wealth, the solution is equally obvious. Your savings must yield.
Barack Obama is of the latter group. In the new health care proposal he outlined this week, he suggested a series of unprecedented tax increases that would extend the greedy hands of government into the life savings of hard-working Americans.
These new taxes would essentially construct a new fiscal pipeline capable of carrying money out of the savings of private citizens and dumping it into government coffers specifically for subsidizing Medicare under the new health care system Obama envisions.

There’s only so much they can do. If they force returns to become negative, people will buy gold and diamonds, bury them in the yard, and arm to the teeth. You can’t tax what you can’t find or prove exists.
FUB0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not before the Pubbies have control of Congress, and even then they would need a smoking gun, or else we are going to hear those vague rumblings we heard about the Hawaiian BC issue- riots in the cities. (Not that that bothers me- the herd needs to be culled).
Medicare HI is part of the FDR welfare state to begin with. In essence, he’s robbing from the welfare state to pay the welfare state.
I favor starting yesterday...
High crimes and misdemeanors.
If he hasn’t committed enough of them by now, he will have done so in another week or two.
