I wonder if the folks in EUrope knew they had voted into being an all-consuming gubamint that would eventually devour them so it could survive.
It’s time to hang politicians from lamp posts and burn their buildings to the ground.
So true.
However, this is only a question of method, not result. The "investment" projects will obviously be confiscatory redistribution to keep the lid from blowing off.
We're not that different here in result, but we go about it in a different (so far) and less explicit way. When the US government's debt burden becomes too high, it will most likely inflate and tax it away, which is a different way of confiscating accumulated savings than a direct debit. The spending driving the debt will be called social investment here, too. Saaaame thing, really.
Get ready for the biggest bank run in history.
The pensioned, jackbooted enforcers will be more than happy to assist in the theft.
“Europe Considers Wholesale Savings Confiscation, Enforced Redistribution”
Holy cow! The EU elites want to live through a second French revolution, complete with beheadings, buckets of blood and brains seeping out their various Nazi and commie orifices.
Okay. I don’t have a problem with that.
Yup!
It takes real men to have a revolution with beheadings and the like. Unfortunately all the real men in Europe died at the Somme, Verdun and Stalingrad.
Confiscate bank & pension accounts, make cash illegal, confiscate PMs. That ought to do it.
Now if you’re a good boy or girl, you might get your state allowance.
Too bad the euros don’t have a 2A.
May you live in interesting times.
and no guns to protest with either... hummm
“It takes real men to have a revolution with beheadings and the like. Unfortunately all the real men in Europe died at the Somme, Verdun and Stalingrad.”
Completely understand your sentiment; however, if i were a wild-eyed barbarian, thinking that the Britons were easy pickings, I’d contact my life insurance agent first and be certain that I had burial insurance.
I’ve served with Brits, and their warriors are still first-class, kick-ass MFers who can serve a major hurt on those they perceive as the enemy.
Take care, henkster.
Ping.
Time for a bank run?
Surely they will give you some type of receipt or IOU. /sarc
The Conservative government in Ottawa passed a law that allows a troubled bank to confiscate some of your cash that you have on deposit. (CONFISCATE- AN UGLY WORD).
A big change in banking has taken place.
We always thought when you deposited your money in the bank it was a case where the bank merely “held” your money on deposit.
No longer. When you deposit your money in the bank you have now lent your money to the crooks.
Your deposit is now a debt that the bank owes.
In the case of bankruptcy I guess your claim goes into the pile of debt that might bring you a few cents on the dollar.
I wonder if it is the same in the USA?
