There's a very good reason the Founders put that contracts clause in the Constitution.
Here's the deal ~ when you whack away at my retirement (which, for all intents and purposes I actually paid for), that's an EXTRA TAX that you are not applying to everyone else.
You whack at my retirement I get to rob your house, steal your car, loot your bank account and sell your chillun's for slavery in Riyadh.
Right?!
Oh, I wasn't thinking of breaking contracts. I was thinking about a special surtax on Fed retirement benefits. The power to tax is the power to destroy, they say. Or maybe just give you IOU chits.
You whack at my retirement I get to rob your house, steal your car, loot your bank account and sell your chillun's for slavery in Riyadh.
With that sentence one would think a light bulb has popped in your head.
But I doubt it.
