Presuming that we are talking about the same thing: one of Clinton's appointees suggested that a "one-time" assessment be made against IRA's and 401(k)'s. I don't remember her reason, but I do remember it was pretty lame.

What I do remember is what happened shortly afterwards: she was gone, as in summarily dismissed. The Clinton administration quickly disavowed any support for her proposal.
