The government has over promised goodies in exchange for votes. Every election, if they want to win, they have to promise something else for free. No freebies - no voters.
The powers that be are losing control. They've run out of others peoples money. Their economic crash has caused unintended consequences, and the economy is spiraling down with no end in sight. They assumed the American patriots (voluntary tax slaves) would all band together, work harder, and spend more to save the country (and the democrat agenda) . They were wrong. Instead, the patriots rallied and said "no more."
The democrats (socialists/communists) are desperate. They're going to find ways to confiscate every penny they can from the now involentary tax slaves. Their followers want more, more , more, and the wanting has become unquenchable - but the slaves are rebelling.
the govt encouraged us to save and be more self sufficient...
the contributions to roths and 401's FUELED the stock market for the last 20 yrs...
as I see it, it was a great service to the country to have a group of people saving continuously and now they want to punish us for that?
besides....maybe there was a tax break with the 401 but not the roths...NOT THE ROTHS....
