“It’s time to hang politicians from lamp posts and burn their buildings to the ground.”

Unfortunately (for them) that is likely the only way the proles will get their attention.

All the more reason to keep the cash on hand somewhere NOT in a bank.

Somehow one of my favorite quotes has gone missing and it’s ticking me off. Wouldn’t bother me if I could recall it sufficiently but I can’t and I don’t remember who said it.

Have you any recollection of a quote that indicated if all money was redistributed evenly it would eventually return to the original holders.

It’s important because it’s profound and if I found out it is one of the things wiped from existence by big nanny it couldn’t piss me off more.

There are those close to this admin. that believe 401(k), IRA etc are examples of wealth and privilege that should not be allowed.

Remember also the mutterings in Hillarycare days and since 2009 that retirement accounts should be (partly) used to fund health reform.

IRAs and the like represent assets = independence, something these types of gov’t detest.

“It’s time to hang politicians from lamp posts and burn their buildings to the ground.”

That would be a modest start.

I remember the quote, but don’t have a source.

If all the money and property in the world were divided up equally at, say, 3 o’clock in the afternoon, by 3.30pm there would already be notable differences in the financial conditions of the recipients. Within that first 30 minutes, some adults would have lost their share. Some would have gambled theirs away and some would have been swindled or cheated out of their portion (thereby making some others richer). The disparity would increase with growing momentum as time went on. After 90 days, the differences would be staggering. And, I’m willing to wager that, within a year or two at the most, the distribution of wealth would conform to patterns almost identical with those that had previously prevailed.

Dave Chapelle did a skit on that, in which blacks were given millions in reparations; the white news anchors were commenting on how eager blacks seemed to give the money back. One guy bought a truck loaded with menthol cigarettes, while another actually became the wealthiest man in the world by gambling his money in dice games. They also had the stock for phone companies go up as millions of delinquent accounts were paid up...

The ruling class has been eyeballing the billions locked up in 401K accounts for a while now. They haven’t had the courage to take this on for fear of a backlash. But the current rulers are showing signs that they don’t give a damn about any backlash.

LOL! You have no idea how long I've searched for that quote and all I had to do was ask you.

THANK YOU!

The Obama Regime and the accompanying Politburo (congress) are feverishly taking notes.

It's already been talked about in public...by "our leaders"....
