... or how long the government thinks you should live. After the government taxes income, sales, and inheritance to the max that the populace will take, look for them to come after accumulated wealth, especially pensions.
Screwing up healthcare is the "soft" way of accomplishing this.
As I get older and older, I become increasingly conscious of how much the government has taken and how little it offers in exchange.
Most folks would be better off arranging their own finances while the government keeps its hands off; but, no, the obsessive/compulsive socialists have to arrange everything for everybody.
I live quite modestly, and what ticks me off is that the government demands I take out more from my IRA than I need to live on.....No mortgage, 10 year old car, don’t need to buy new furniture every 5 years, have enough clothes to last longer than my life expectency, its none of their business how much I take out, but they make the rules. Who ever made these laws should be tar and feathered..
