Go ahead, but they will take it away to pay for all their trillion dollar programs - this is will be full blown socialism, not some form of the present capitalistic system were your money can be protected by various means.

Only the super-rich elite who are politically well connected will remain wealthy.

Considering Trump dumped Yellen this could be seen as a ‘thumb in the eye’ directed back at him.

Trump should respond by announcing permanent nominees for all his acting cabinet secretaries.
