Great book FerFAL. I’ve been recommending it here ever since I finished reading it.

You first published the book in 2009 and you could see some bad trends developing in the US then, not the least of which was Obama’s star rising. What are thinking about what’s happening in the states now? Are you seeing a lot of parallels to what happened in Argentina?

(Love what you said about an armed citizenry.)

Stealing the 401k is a “second amendment” moment.

Just that one tip about buying gold chain link necklaces instead of other forms of gold is worth the price of the book. I totally agree with your assessment. He has a nice way of expressing himself and an enjoyable sense of humor, too. The latter was evident in the way he talked about self defense. Some of his comments really cracked me up. Do you know him?

(It’s just not that easy to pick an appropriate target.)

Sure it is. Every politician with a D after their name is a progressive and those few who are not consort with progressives. Decorate liberty trees with as many of them as you can get your hands on.

This will solve the problem for approximately 200 years. then our great grand children will have to do it again.

"Republicans Sound Alarm on Administration Plan to Seize 401(k)s"

I've never had a 401K never trusted the setup. Many of my friends laughed at me (Yet my investments far outpaced their 401ks.) Now they are calling me, worried they will get their 401ks taken, I told 'em eventually they will get "Something" back. Maybe an I.O.U. Welcome to the Obamanation!

The best thing people could do....IMO. Is take your lumps in your IRA's...and move it to savings. And learn how to direct your own monies.

I did long ago....and have never looked back.

"They won’t do it. There would be a national outcry."

I've heard that one before but each time we slip further down that slippery slope all I hear is a bit of mumbling and then they change the channel to watch "wife swap"...

(But I doubt disabled vets make up 1% of the population.)

But we will make up close to 50% of those that march on Washington.

Alright you bahstids! Let the evil party try this one. Because the 401k is not party specific, the outcry will not be party specific (imagine going from 3/4 millionare to 1/4 millionare to practically penniless). We have about X million baby-boomers ready to retire (trying to time it right-are you observing the demographics?) and Y amount of boomers watching/anticipating their time, the equation is ripe for total rejection!

One side of me hopes that this looting does not happen. The other side wishes the boomers finally get the bill that is owed- for all their years of voting DEMOCRAT.

I don’t understand the pay down your mortgage theory.
In my view, we are going to have massive inflation, and banks are willing to lend me money @ 5% fixed for 30 yrs.
Are you expecting the govt to force these loans into variable rate?

You sound like my husband and it worries me. I hope you aren’t right, but you might be.

“I am sure if asked all of them would prefer to pay taxes to their current travails. “

You would be wrong. It is pretty clear, regardless of sentimentality, most who stop paying will fight to continue not to pay — it is one part human nature and one part the way the system is set up — FedGov sets up snares to keep people (no matter how well intentioned) from biting the bullet.

And I don’t mean this personally, but your appeal to sentimentality, which I see all of the time, reveals an attitude of entitlement (and its corollary = at the expense of others).

Unfortunately, the only way to trump the anger of righteous indignation (from telling the truth, in this case), is to actually threaten taking away some of the sweet bennies you receive, PAID FOR BY OTHERS.

Thank you for your service.
