Only commies would be "aghast" at Americans successfully saving a fortune for their retirement. Aghast at what? Using savings vehicles available to them and having the means and discipline to do so?

Not relying on a government hand-out for your retirement check scares the bejeesus out of them.

“some folks “have little to no retirement savings” — also surely the fault of those who work hard and save their money over the course of their lives.”

The dems will say they want those who worked and saved (successful) to subsidize those who didn’t save (losers). But then they will just spend it on climate change and other nonsense to win votes. Thus I see no winners here.

First they came for the $25 million IRA holders, and I did not speak out-
Because I did not have $25 million.
Then they came for the $5 million IRA holders, and I did not speak out-
Because I did not have $5 million.
Then they came for the retiree social security, and I did not speak out-
Because I was not a retiree.
Then they came for me-
and there was no one left to speak for me.

I have been saying this for years: Some of us who have paid into Social Security our whole lives are not going to get it. They are going to do means testing.

“You already have enough saved up. You don’t need Social Security.”

But I also see them coming after money we have saved. It’s pessimistic, I know. I just feel it in my gut.

Assistant Democrats will be glad to help the Democrats to your retirement accounts.

I assume my pension (state teachers’ retirement) has already been looted.

I’ve been telling colleagues for years to diversity.

And, own physical gold and sliver.

I seem to remember a plan that was put forth several years ago advocating the use of retirement savings called the Gilarducci plan. Many Republicans were in agreement with the woman that purposed it. Back then we commented that it would not be long before the politicians found another way to confiscate the wealth in savings.

I was pissed, then read the article, and found it would just cap IRA’s at $5M. Overages would be moved to normal equity accounts. And it is just douchebag Thiel. NY Post is garbage.

Meanwhile, Democrats are desperate to figure out how to pay for all those left-wing agenda goodies

Exactly since when? They just got the Assistant Democrats to piss away $1.2 trillion with them in a bipartisan vote so they could get on with pissing away $3.5 trillion on their own through reconciliation. The only thing the RATS are desperate about is wrecking the country in every way possible.

More like proving their communist stripes just wait until they gain full power like China just did with Hong Kong they banned the teachers unions.
Socialism and communism don’t allow any unions period.

America last members stunned
