These ideas have emerged from France and this is why we have some of the most insane ideas still emerging from this country. There is a core philosophy among some that this socialism is correct.

This is what these people fail to understand:

Splitting hair here. Socialists, Marxists, Communists. yada yada yada.....

When they start out confiscating ONLY 10% for all their failed ideology, you pretty much end up at the same end.

So any FReepers who have over, lets say, $100,000 in one account, break up the total to five separate accounts at five different banks or credit unions.

Won't work. They will reference accounts by social security numbers or corp. number.

Isn't she the commie psycho wench who was toying with the idea of having the Gov't take over the administration of everyone's 401Ks?

Yeah, young males have no concern for mortality. They don't learn about that until they get close to middle age.

So, when Jarrett and her pals masterminded their one plan to control all of us they didn't take this one fact into account.

The Obama Administration's disregard for human nature has just ruined their plan for their Marxist Paradise, and it is just a matter of time before it all falls in on their faces.

Boo-Hoo.

That’s why we fool them we lynched them before they can do any more harm. I call it the ‘Kartographer Doctrine of Preemptive Lynching. ;-)

Well we saw how well they can manage "insurance".

It's a short leap to "investments".

The Obamabucks office will be right next door to Obamacare

A simpler solution they could implement is a mandatory 1% purchase of government bonds by retirement accounts. It starts small, as a way to supposedly diversify peoples’ holdings. Then up the percentage that must be held in government bonds. They aren’t officially confiscating it, but actually are.

the fed would have a grand time using money confiscated from retirement savings accounts to purchase more US govt debt, wouldn’t it?

and when the time comes to pay that debt? well just confiscate more money or “means test” the debt holders to decide whether they “need” to be repaid

sounds all too familiar

Incrementalism.

Works every time with the low info voter. i.e. most people.

Yeah, the one thing Marx leaves out of his work is the fact of human nature.

Curiously, if you look at every idea connected to marxism you find an appalling lack of any regard for human nature.

Saul Alinsky dedicated his marxist tomes to Lucifer and neither one of them were fans of humanity as created by God.

That's the one thing I always bring up to the idiots who claim that "there's nothing wrong with socialism or communism in theory, it's just never been implemented properly." I respond that there are perfect implementations of them all around us. All you need to do is find an ant colony or a bee hive: Those are perfect examples of communism or socialism.

“So any FReepers who have over, lets say, $100,000 in one account, break up the total to five separate accounts at five different banks or credit unions. “

The Fed could easily change the rules to a total of 100k no matter how many institutions...

statements on “income inequality”

'Tis the difference between a Liberal and a Conservative.

Conservatives would love to see everyone be successful.

Liberals define success as "making everyone just as miserable as they are".

...to spend gobs of money on morbidly overpriced and mostly useless health insurance?

I think that it's easier to find places that DON'T take Obamacare, than places which do.

Which, of course, is the endgame. Due to lack of participation, force all medical providers to take Obamacare. Then just ask the last legit doctor in the country "Please shut off the lights".
