And a long, long time FReeper!

If anyone touches my 401k, which represents a large portion of my life savings, I would be willing to take up arms against the government. This would be the act that puts me right over the edge!

But, who are you going to shoot? Overpaid federal employees? Police? Congressmen? Sorry, but it's easier to just bend over, grab both cheeks and spread 'em. You might try lubing up with butter...

You can ask any Teacher's Union educated third grader how it's done.

As a baby boomer putting off retirement, I absolutely agree.

[ConjunctionJunction]

I did not know she was a FReeper!

[Mich Patriot]

Agreed. Any option that forces me to annuitize part or all of my 401k is EVIL, and it is theft against my daughter’s eventual inheritance. (My understanding is that the gov’t will keep whatever’s left when you die.) Remember the old joke about being buried face-down?

Once again, the lib-f#cks want to punish me for being responsible, and give more of my hard-earned savings to scumbags who do nothing for themselves.

This will be the one that causes deaths. Even people who voted for Obama have their life savings in their 401k’s.

No offense intended here but really, let's examine this. You say you are willing to take up arms and I'm assuming you believe others will too. Well let's look at that:

Obama has devastated everything he's touched (by design btw) We are living in tyranny now and the only thing that hasn't happened is the brutalization of the citizenry (which is coming soon imo) and NOT ONE SOUL.....NO ONE has made any attempt to remove these treasonous people. Not one attempt. All we keep hearing is wait until November (a mirage). NOTHING can be done etc etc except "vote them out" (I'm so sick of hearing that because it isn't going to happen). This confiscation will be swallowed...with only a few screaming...and those screams will fade just like in the health care. The majority of the Republicans are on board with this no matter what they say. They bitch, and then they see how they will personally benefit and then they shut up. We are alone. As another poster said...49% voted for this regime. I hope their lives are absolutely devasted in the coming weeks because they took all of us down the drain.

Ya better get ready...

GOVERNMENT UNIONS

[dr_who]

Yeah, but I wonder if Obama and his gang of thugs calculate that there would be less of a voter backlash than from government seizure of IRAs. Either way, it’s outrageous.

Here is how it will play out. The govt will offer as an option to convert your retirement plan to a govt annuity. You will not be forced. The reality is that we might as well accept it because it will destroy the stock market anyway. Who is going to be buying the stock in your retirement plan that you want to sell?

Same here. This is serious trial balloon by the communists running our government. We must make waves or it will become a reality.

I’m sure you would not be alone — this might be the one issue that would really motivate American workers, you know, the taxpayers, to stand up and scream NO WAY!!! Let’s keep this front and center - yap about it all summer — can’t hurt come election time in Nov. ‘10!

I am with you. Hopefully, about 30-35 million are with us too.
