Poll is down on the left.
We can be just like Cyprus.

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

A nice poll would be “would you like to see a tax on savings belonging to a politician, family, distant relatives, etc.”

I forsee something like:

“Well, it will be taxed when you withdraw it anyway, so we are going to take that tax a little bit early, and it won’t be a big tax. You won’t even notice it. It will only happen this one time. Trust me.”

My savings are already getting taxed. The $6 trillion expansion in the money supply since Obama took office has resulted in a substantial decrease in my purchasing power. That wealth has been redistributed to others in the form of food stamps, mortgage forgiveness, etc. Wake up, people!

Well, at this point I am debating removing all of my money from accounts and markets.

It seems to me that things may be about to spin out of control rapidly, not that they were ever in control.

What's the point in polling this issue?

It's not like they're going to ask your permission anyway...

They are paying less than 1% interest.
Inflation is 4%

They are stealing 3% from me every day.

Oddly enough a true wealth tax that REPLACED the income tax would be better. A system of trade tariffs and a NRST that replaced all taxes would be best.

That would be every year, but I get your point.

What is really infuriating is the Fed Reserve gives to banks money at basically 0%. Then the banks make 30 year loans at 4%. Why cant I go directly to the Feds myself and eliminate the middle man?

So we’re supposed to just hand over our hard earned savings to some politician who spends like a drunken sailor and is answerable to no one??? Don’t think so!!!
