I suppose this November is when we find out how many Americans still value freedom.
Do not doubt that the next thing they will come for is your savings, if you have any.
They are already bankrupt.
Since they can now tax ANYTHING, your 401Ks, IRAs, etc. will be the next target. They need the money to pay for the welfare state, and buy votes.
You will be told that not only are you too stupid to decide what kind or type of medical insurance you need, you are also too stupid to invest your own savings. The government will force you to convert your savings to a government annuity, for your own financial “safety”, of course. Or, if you don’t, you will be charged a “penalty” or a “tax” for not complying.
And your principle will be put into a “lock box” just like your social security payments were (LOL,,r-i-g-h-t), to be rolled into the general fund to pay for Obamacare, and other vote buying schemes.
They’ve already had comittees recommend doing this. SCOTUS just green-lighted the effort for the progressives.
The coming election may well be one of our last chances to stem the progressive tide.
Vote like your future depends on it, because it truly does.
Very few, I'm afraid....they are more into "Gimme Gimme Gimme!"
Bankrupt perhaps beyond redemption. Most people, companies, etc. in such straits can trim expenses, get a second job, and so on. The government cannot cut its major expenses without significant social disruption.
