DETAILS: THE PLAN TO STEAL YOUR 401(k)

November 29, 2012
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We have a couple of sound bites from the New School professor of economics, the New School for Social Research professor of economics Teresa Ghilarducci,
who explains the theft -- uh, the purchase -- of your 401(k) by the government.
TIME Magazine now has a big story out saying that this must happen.
It must have to happen to save us all.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: By the way, TIME Magazine is not the only one floating this idea for the regime to claim your 401(k).
And coming up in a moment, we'll go back and play the sound bites from October 27, 2008, Teresa Ghilarducci at the New Skrool for Social Research, professor of economics.
It was her idea to basically take away your 401(k) and compensate you for it in a kind of screwy way 'cause the government needs the money.
It was a mistake to allow people to contribute to an IRA and deduct that from their gross taxable income.
It's costing the government too much money now.
Back in 2008, it was costing the government $80 billion. Do you believe that?
That's so much, and they have to get that back now.
And TIME Magazine, seven hours ago now, with a headline and a story about the advisability of this.
But they're not the only one.
From November 26th, a story from the Atlantic Monthly with the headline:The Atlantic piece is about the same study, a Danish study, that TIME Magazine mentions.
They think it's a great idea to do away with the tax deduction because it's basically only the rich.
Anybody over $150 grand this matters. They're rich.
It's not right, it's not fair that those people should have a tax deduction, that the poor don't.
Everything's been done on the backs of the poor since this country was founded.
Do you realize the poor used to have homes on the beach and everything, but they got taken away from 'em.
Do you realize before the Founding Fathers founded this country, the poor had everything, and then the country was founded, and those guys took everything,
and the poor became poor and they've been poor ever since.
And then all the immigrants that came here, if they weren't white they got lumped into the poverty stricken poor and they've been given the shaft for the last 236 years,
and now it's payback.
And a majority of people who voted, voted for that.
It's not the way it happened?
Well, let me tell you something. If the number one television show in this country is ?Two and a Half Men, then you can make them think that's the way it happened.
Okay?
If you can run ads,picture of a station wagon, a mom and day and 2.8 kids in it and a dog in a cage on the roof
and claim that Mitt Romney hates dogs, then you can portray that story of America and get away with it.
If you can put some loco weed on television, "Mitt Romney killed my wife," and a majority of Americans believe it,
then you can convince them that the poor used to own all the beachfront property.
Now, The Atlantic piece about that Danish study, here's the final paragraph:"A system of forced, or nudged, saving wouldn't replace this social insurance, but rather the wasteful dinosaur that is the 401(k).
It's mostly the well-off, who have retirement savings to move around, who move their savings to where the subsidies are.
The 401(k) doesn't do much if your goal is to get people who don't save much to save more, and it doesn't do this at quite the cost."
We need to tell Congress we can't afford this anymore.
Folks, there is an all-out assault -- forget the word "rich."
There's an all-out assault on successful people.
There is an all-out assault on prosperity and the future is that government will determine prosperity and will assign it, and they'll also punish it.
Because there's been a lot of people who have been prosperous who really haven't deserved it because they were mean or they stole it or whatever the allegation will be.
But The Atlantic piece,Do you realize, $240 billion compared to our national debt of $16 trillion is not even a rounding error.
It is so insignificant, the amount of money we're talking about here saving is so insignificant that it isn't about the money.
It is about transforming this country and penalizing success.
This is why, in the first hour of the program, I saidI simply do not buy this belief that Obama's worried about a recession leading to unemployment and causing a bad legacy for his second term.
I just don't believe he cares about that.
Looking at Obama through the conventional prism of presidential politics is to totally misunderstand who he is.
But that's just me.
The vast majority of people who vote in this country don't think that, see that, comprehend that at all.
But I'm telling you what,if a vast majority of college students, students at institutions of higher learning think The Daily Show is the real news,
and if the rest of them think that Two and a Half Men is worth their time,
then you can make them believe anything about Republicans.
Notice both TIME Magazine and The Atlantic are calling the 401(k) tax deduction now a subsidy.
It's a government subsidy.
That's important because that means it's the government's money.
You didn't earn it, the government allowed you to have it,
and calling it a "subsidy" is a dog whistle term for people."Why are we subsidizing the rich?" is the shout from middle America and central California.
"Why are we subsidizing the rich, Mabel?"
So a tax deduction is now a subsidy.
Here is Teresa Ghilarducci.
We got this sound bite from the Seattle affiliate at the time, and the host there said,"Your plan, as I understand it very briefly, I'll let you fill in the details, it would end the tax deferral status of 401(k)s.
That is,I have a 401(k), and I put in a certain amount every month, and that's deducted from my gross
so I don't pay taxes on it until I pull it out when I retire.
And so it would end that and it would bring about a new government retirement plan.
Is that correct?"
GHILARDUCCI: Whatever you have in your 401(k) now will keep its tax break.
So everybody who has their 401(k) plan will be grandfathered in.
But what I propose, instead of getting a tax deduction, like a decrease in your taxes by whatever your tax rate is,
so if you're at the very high income, your tax rate is 39%,
and if you're at the very low, you're at 15%.
And 40 million people make so little they don't pay any taxes at all.
Instead of the deduction coming from your tax rate.
So whatever you put in your 401(k,) like a dollar, let's say, or a hundred dollars, you get back 39 cents, or $39, if you're at the high rate,
$15 or 15 cents if you're at the low rate,
or nothing if you're at the row rate.
I propose that we just transfer the deduction to a credit so that everybody gets $600.
So I'm not taking away the tax break.
I'm actually giving everybody a flat amount so that it's more equal.
RUSH: Everybody will get $600 a year that will accrue under her plan.
Right. It'll be equal.
We're gonna take yours and give it to somebody else to equalize it all, so everybody gets the same amount.
And so then the host said,"There would be a new plan where all of us who bring in a paycheckwould put 5% of our income into a retirement plan administered by the Social Security system,
but guided by the pension folks who do Congress and the Federal Reserve,
investing that money into, as I understand, government bonds guaranteeing at least a 3% return,
and the government would supplement that with a $600 annual payment to that plan?"
GHILARDUCCI: The government would guarantee 3% plus inflation.
WILBUR: Okay, 3%, okay, plus inflation.
GHILARDUCCI: Yeah.
WILBUR: So the bonds would be adjusted -- as I understand,
the $600 would be adjusted as well, right?
GHILARDUCCI: It would. It would.
WILBUR: Okay.
GHILARDUCCI: And what's amazing about this is that it's actually -- doesn't cost the government anybody.
I'm just rearranging the tax breaks that are available now for 401(k)s
and spreading the wealth.
RUSH: Where have we heard that before?
Where have we heard that?
Joe the Plumber heard that, and then the state of Ohio began an in-depth investigation.
It's a wonder he's not in jail with the video guy. Joe the Plumber.
Okay, so to review this, these two sound bites, I just wanted to get them out there, Teresa Ghilarducci.
Here is the plan.
What she wants to do is take your 401(k) at the August 2008 level, whatever it was worth then,that's what you are going to be given the equivalent of.
That will be put in your Social Security account, and then the government, not you, is going to invest that money,your Social Security plus whatever the amount of your 401(k) is,
they're gonna invest that money that they take from your retirement account.
"We're gonna buy a government bond with what we take, that will guarantee you 3% plus inflation,
and then we will require that you put 5% of your pay into your 401(k) every year,although it's not yours anymore, it's the government's."
So the government is getting all of the money up front.
What they're doing is eliminating the deduction. You don't get a tax break anymore.
The government is taking all the money and holding it at a promised 3% plus inflation return for your retirement.
And so whatever the amount of your Social Security was in August of 2008, added to your Social Security trust fund account,whatever the hell that is when you retire,
divided by whatever monthly is what you will end up with.
The reason they're doing this is because the tax deduction is costing the government $240 billion a year.
All the 401(k) holders combined are contributing $240 billion total to the 401(k),
government doesn't get that, and they need it now, see.
Government needs it. I mean, we got a real problem.
We got a fiscal cliff.
They need the money, not you.
So the original rule that you started your 401(k) is now being yanked out from underneath you.
And, see, whatever you have in your 401(k) now, you will keep. It's a tax break.
Everybody that has their 401(k) plan will be grandfathered in, but instead of getting a tax deductionlike a decrease in your taxes by whatever your tax rate is,
then you're gonna get $600 a year.
This was four years ago, folks,
and now today two magazines have revised this,and, by the way, the magazines just didn't out of thin air say,"You know what? Let's do a 401(k) story."
Somebody at the regime calls 'em and leaks it.
Okay, time to put this into play now.
So TIME is complying with the regime, and The Atlantic complying with the regime, and they're putting it in play now.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Up next, of course, is the Alternative Minimum Tax:and that's part of the plan, too.
And the AMT scam is one of the ways that they might be able to avoid raising anybody's tax rates, per se, their marginal tax rates.

Depending on your age a 72T will not permit much to come out per year, and will last at a minimum of 5 years for payout. Really not much help.

I understand you are very limited in your ability to have your employer modify their plan document to include non-hardship withdrawals. Many new plans have them, though. It does benefit the highly compensated employees to have the NHEW feature, and if your employer has NOT reviewed their plan (and documented it) they are taking a huge risk. If I were you I would ask your employer to speak with their attorney about the NEW business and PERSONAL risks they face if they do not have documented proof of a plan comparison under the new ERISA laws. They will be shocked, and it might just give you some leverage. I am totally serious; most business owners have no clue of their new fiduciary responsibilities as of this summer. If they listen to you they will go from disbelief to gratitude quickly.

Folks, we ALL have to stop playing the “SAFE” game... it doesn’t exist! Whether you have money invested in a 401k or an IRA it isn’t really yours! It’s just a bunch of electronic blips on some computer tape or hard-drive. If you want to save your money, you have to physically possess it and paper money is only worth whatever scrap paper will bring.
Gold and silver sales are going through the roof right now, as are purchases of farmland. Granted that precious metals may not deliver a safe 3-6% profit like those funds promise (?), but they will hold their value over the years. Land will do much the same if you can hold it in the face of rising property taxes.
Too many of us are still thinking of retiring with a comfortable retirement incom. Except in a very few cases - IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN! When TSHTF most of us will be lucky to survive. Remember, Agenda 21 is designed to reduce the population, not to make it comfortable. I’m 78 yrs old and I don’t expect to survive it. I do hope to prepare my grandkids well enough that they survive though. If I’m successful they’ll be the most valuable treasure I can preserve.

To: jdsteel
I talked to a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) familiar with 72Ts and he told me
that if you've had you funds in an IRA for more than one year, you can use the 72T if you're within 5 years of 59 1/2 years old, to withdraw funds out of the IRA and not pay the 10% penalty. There are three different withdrawal time lines to go by.
I asked if I could zero out the account by the time I reached 59 1/2, and he said yes.
The cost to do my taxes each year would only be a couple of hundred dollars each year, depending on my other tax situations.
But it's
very important to talk to a CPA
BEFORE you start withdrawals.
It's
best to have the CPA help you qualify, to avoid the 10 percent penalty.

Take a look at the allowable percentages that you can remove under the 72T. Even with the largest permitted cashflow you will find it impossible to drain your account as quickly as 5 years. Everything you've stated is accurate but it is not complete. Also, this topic was 401(k) plans and you are talking IRA’s....no problem but let's be clear about the difference. I work with this stuff all of the time. Do an internet search for “72T calculator” and you can crunch the numbers to your hearts content based on the size of your IRA, your age and the assumed interest rate you choose. You will see what I mean.

Oops, on re-reading your post there is something you posted that is wrong. Assuming you aren't talking about an IRA that you inherited, there are NOT 3 timelines as you said. You must continue the 72T for 5 years OR until you reach 59 1/2, which ever takes LONGER. That is it. The 10% penalty you avoided comes due in in the year that you break that deal, which includes taking more or less out per year. It must be exactly the same each year for at least 5 years and you must reach 591/2 in order to avoid the 10% penalty. If you screw it up in year 5 you owe the IRS that 10% for ALL of the years you didn't pay it. Also, you do not have to be within 5 years of 59 1/2 to start the 72T. You can start at any age, but the younger you are the less you can get out each year.

I stayed up all night before last, working out a division on my PM IRA that was close enough to balance out with the cash in the account to make five even withdrawals, and slept most of this yesterday afternoon,
just to listen to the CPA tell me that she had made a mistake. She said, after talking to another CPA who was more familiar with 72Ts, that all three methods given
the life expectancy method - calculated under the minimum distribution rules;
the amortization method - amortize account balance using life expectancies and a reasonable interest rate;
and the annuitization method - account balance divided by an annuity factor using both a reasonable mortality table and interest rate
for
Substantially Equal Periodic Payment Plans (SEPP) under Section 72(q) or 72(t) offer a little over 4.5 % of the total value of the IRA.
Either way, it's not worth the cost of the CPA's labor plus the 10% additional tax, and the risk, if it's not done right,
You may have to pay a 25%, rather than a 10%, additional tax if you receive distributions from a SIMPLE IRA before you are age 59½.
After taking a rough estimate on my taxes, if I withdraw the entire IRA at one time, the tax cost would be about 33% of the value of the IRA, and my IRA is large at all.
My learned lesson to tell others,
DON'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT!
Be VERY CAUTIOUS before opening an IRA or a 401K.
You're setting yourself up to be ripped off by the government.
Better to pay the taxes NOW, and be responsible for your own retirement.
I don't know what I'm going to do, but I've got to decide in two days, what to do.
If I start my early withdrawal plan, even if a only draw out 20% of the IRA, I'm subject to a 10% penalty tax on the ENTIRE IRA.
![](http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Obama-book-Breitbart1.jpg)
In layman's terms:
Someone asked earlier:
"What is holding the market up if those who have IRAs know the government is about to rob them?"
Good question.
I think
your answer is "God sends them a POWERFUL DELUSION".

One other thing.
The CPA told me that it'd be better to wait until AFTER I turned 59 and 1/2.
Then I could draw it ALL out and NOT be subject to a penalty tax of 10% or more
( unless the law CHANGES between now and the time I reach 59.5 years old).
It's like
trusting "the Democrats not to steal".
My dad's friend, a retired Navy man of 26 years, worked for GM building starters for 21 years after coming out of the Navy.
He didn't make much, but if it wasn't for his Navy enlisted retirement check and benefits, he and his family would be out in the cold.
His GM retirement was his GM 401K, all in GM secured bonds.
Obama and the Democrats stoled over $120,000 from his family, and the GM Union, didn't do a damned thing for him.

A few more points: 1: if your money is in an IRA, not a 401(k), you shouldn't go off the deep end and start withdrawing money to keep Obama’s hands off of it. IRA’s and 401(k)’s are different creatures. 2. If you are close to 59 1/2 it is probably better to wait than do a 72 T. 3: You should not do business with an accountant that gave you bad advice on something as simple as a 72T. 4: IF you still do a 72T, don't confuse the tax law definition of “reasonable” with what the word really means. You can pick the highest possible number as long as you feel confident that your IRA will not run dry before the 5 years or 59 1/2 minimums. 5: The calculations to do a 72T aren't hard, and should not cost you annual fees. Once again, check out one of many online calculators.

Sorry about your friend, but HE CHOSE the investments inside his 401(k). He takes some of the blame, but yes...he and many others got royally screwed when Obama essentially broke the law by bailing out Unions rather than bondholders.

My calculations would carry it just beyond 59.5, and having to do at least five years, would mean that, no matter the highest calculation, I could zero out my IRA faster by just waiting until reaching 59 and a half years old.
I'm within 5 years of that requirement.
If you believe the
Democrats Fabian Fascists and their ILLEGAL Leader, the Arab-Kenyan, will do what they say they will do,
then it's a 10 % cost to save 67 % of your money to do it.
If you believe the value of our dollar will continue to be devalued by the
Democrats Fabian Fascists and their ILLEGAL Leader, the Arab-Kenyan,
then you believe that the value of gold and silver will only increase.

" ...the huge problems with debt we had in 1929-30 and today that we did not have in 1965.
This creates much more of a need for deflation today than in 1965.
The whole point of the Inflation Cycle is to move out of the Growth Cycle into the Rest Cycle.
The economy grows for 18 years and then rests for 18 years.
The Rest Cycle is just as important for the process as is the Growth or the Inflation Cycle.
Deflation Cycles need to1) destroy debt;
2) move the country away from the speculative frenzy of the Inflation Cycle which favors the rich and special interests;
3) close the gap between the rich and the poor, so the country can avoid civil war;
4) raise interest rates to do all of these things, destroy debt and reward savers especially.
Easterling's point, in the second chart, is that stocks need to decline back to the green band at the bottom of the chart before another Bull Market can begin again.
![](http://static.cdn-seekingalpha.com/uploads/2012/8/1/428250-13438393600724204-Michael-Clark.png)
I say this decline needs to be done by 2019, since geometry is the trump card in all of this.
... Any and every period of extended forced lower interest rates is inflationary because of what it does to the local currency, the US Dollar in our instance.
Dollar devaluation has been the policy of the Fed throughout most of the Inflation Cycle (and attempted Reflation Cycle -- which has been, in fact, the Disinflation Cycle).
More dollars circulated, even if just circulated between the banks and the US Treasury, via the Fed, reduces the value of the Dollar --meaning that 'real' profits from stock gains are being diluted by low interest rates.
That is why the Dow/Gold ratio makes sense to consider, since gold is a Dollar-Inverse indicator.
In this chart, the higher the price, the greater 'real' stock profits.
So, although the Deflation Cycle 1965-1983 looked minor, benign, costing the investor Time only, in terms of real profits in stocks, the period was catastrophic.
So, since 2001, real stock profits are being gored by a declining dollar.
Deflation Cycles often 'appear' to be sideways markets only -- a loss for investors of 18 years of potential profits
-- but when viewed through the prism of lower 'captive' interest rates, the decline in stock values since 2001 is also catastrophic, as the chart below demonstrates.
![](http://static.cdn-seekingalpha.com/uploads/2012/8/2/428250-13438845085202656-Michael-Clark.png)
Note how this chart of stocks priced in gold corresponds almost perfectly to my Deflation and Inflation Cycles(1911-1929 Inflation; 1929-1947 Deflation;1947-1965 Inflation; 1965-1983 Deflation; 1983-2001 Inflation; 2001-2019 Deflation).

So do I lose 33 percent of my labor from many years, in closing out my IRA now,
or do I risk losing it all into a devalued dollar that is rolled into the Social Security plan, like
Rush explained?

Based on your age I agree a 72t would not be in your best interest. My 2 cents about the rest? I don't trust charts. There are plenty of technicians out there; I'm not one of them. It's dangerous to make long term financial decisions based on the current president. It's doubly dangerous to make financial decisions based on charts AND politics. At your age make that triple dangerous. It's your money and your life though. Good luck.

that if the Communists will do it to 401Ks,
the Traditional IRAs aren't far behind in their plans to "Collapse the System" with government overspending.
I won't do it, but my instincts are SCREAMING AT ME, to "DO IT ! " .
Thanks again.

Reference "financial decisions", hat do you make YOUR decisions on?
How can you leave "current politics" out of it?
Charts aren't everything, but they are a good way to put forth a vast amount of information in an understandable way, quickly.
Plus,
Biblical knowledge tells us that the system will get worse,
until weacknowledge and repent our sins as a nation to God,
then ask for forgiveness,
and return to God's laws, statutes, and judgments as a nation,
... and return to God.

I had a wonderful 401(k), but I was on a fishing trip and my canoe turned over and...
If you still have an IRA or 401(k), you trust these criminals more than I ever have. It's been clear for at least 3 years that they would be confiscated.
Get out now, pay the tax, and invest in brass, lead, protein, carbohydrate, and maybe silver.

I am pretty well stocked on LEAD, which will be the real precious metal, and am changing my invested portfolio from time to time but not bailing out. Good luck to you.

Lead, I have, and the ability to project it within an inch or two of where I want it.
My portfolio has oil and natural gas, in small amounts, and a little cash.
Have you seen these articles?
