From Zerohedge-January 2010—
snip—”In a short conversation this noontime ... Rick Santelli was talking about a potential to effectively force money into the Treasury market.
Where would they get this?
From your 401k and IRA accounts!...
Let me tell you what this is - it is an attempt to prevent the collapse of the Treasury market!”

I didn’t see the source for his assertions. Don’t trust the author.

From your 401k and IRA accounts!...
There are far easier ways to do that than to confiscate the accounts outright. How about requiring 401k administrators do the "responsible" thing by investing a mere 25% of their assets into treasury bonds. Who can argue with diversification away from stocks? And if you are already invested in bonds it won't really change anything anyway. Oh, yeah, that percentage will go up to 30% two years from now and 35% two years after that.
I think the rumors of confiscation are a smokescreen for the 'Rats to threaten to steal everything outright and then let you keep the account in your name even though they now have the cash. Beware of them taking half the loaf when everyone is focused on keeping them from stealing the whole loaf.
Imminent.
and maybe not. So long as the dollar is driven down the price of equities rises nominally even while not changing in real value. A QE2 should set stocks off on another "rise."
I canceled my IRA and put the money in an investment without the IRA tag when the subject of confiscation was first raised.
More accurately, it is an attempt to delay the collapse a little while.
Well, Obama has to get money for his muzzie bros from somewhere doesn’t he??
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD
Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies. http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story — and then there
OBAMA GIVES YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO REBUILD MOSQUES AROUND THE WORLD
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2577890/posts
Obama administration will give away nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations. See the State Department document here.
This is an outrage! Our country is broke. And can you imagine what the ACLU and others on the secular left would say if these monies had been spent to repair Christian churches? They would be screaming “separation of church and state!” Funding Islam on foreign soil with American taxpayer money? Not a whimper.
The latest taxpayer givaway includes $76,000 for a 16th century mosque in China, $67,000 for a mosque in Pakistan, $77,000 to restore minarets in Nigeria and Mauritania, and $50,000 for an Islamic Monument in India.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the U.S. program to restore Islamic and other cultural sites in other countries is taxpayer money well spent.
“I figured by the time I retired, the tax rate would have gone up from when I first started putting it in 21 years ago.”
You are probably going to be smiling while the rest of us dutifully pay 75% every time we take money out. You’ll have my permission to laugh out loud at me!
I wonder what historical trends have to say about your theory? It would be a complicated analysis to say the least!
“You’ll have my permission to laugh out loud at me!”
I would never do that.
It’s just that I never trusted the gooberment.
Thanks to my dad. May he rest in peace. (Thanks dad!)
If you think your likely to be in a higher tax bracket when you retire, then the Roth 401K makes sense if your company offers it. Ours didn't until a couple of years ago when the program was made permanent. It had been set to expire this year.
(Rolls eyes)
Right on!
Crap - another freaking blog pimp?
It's not a rumor, the SEIU had a website back in March lobbying for a "equitable retirement act" which basically has the Federal Government seizing all 401k's and redistributing retirement payments "fairly." They advocate a single-payer system for ALL retirement/pension payments. Given the SEIU has a major bug in Obama's ear thanks to Andy Stern, I wouldn't write it off so quickly...
You can read all about the SEIU's plans for your and my retirement dollars.
They've since removed these "principles" but I captured them when they were on their website: The proposed retirement system would be operated under the following principles:
* Shared Responsibility. Retirement should be the shared responsibility of employers, employees and the government.(Gee, where have we heard this before?
* Required Contributions. Employers and employees should be required to contribute a specified percentage of pay, and the government should subsidize the contributions of lower-income workers. (More Government involvement in your life!)
* Pooled Assets. Contributions to the system should be pooled and professionally managed to minimize costs and financial risks. (No doubt managed by the Government!)
* Efficient and Transparent Administration. The system should be administered by a governmental agency or by private, non-profit institutions that are efficient, transparent, and governed by boards of trustees that include employer, employee, and retiree representatives. (Kind of like that same “transparent administration” of the Obama government?)
* Effective Oversight. Oversight of the new system should be by a single government regulator dedicated solely to promoting retirement security.
If you want to see the rest, send me a freepmail I'll send you the link to the entire article I wrote back in March of this year. This issue is only now starting to get the media's attention. (Note: I don't advertise on my blog, the content on it is purely my own with sourced links proving the information and opinions I write. I don't "steal" others content to make it my own like some do.)
This would be a call to arms.
I thought the government’s “health care reform” and death panels would’ve been a call to arms too .....
But when the government resorts to OVERT and immediate theft as your info suggests, I predict people will have finally had it.
This administration has shown it does not understand the American people, and this would be a very grave mistake.
