        There are too many guns and rednecks for them to pull that shirt here.

        Although I have heard that retirement accounts are being eyed for possible pilfering in the future.
        When the government pays, the government controls.

            Sticking with "you don't understand it". I didn't see where you explained it. I won't ask you to type anything, just the post #

              That is where the class warfare come in. They will have the voters demanding that it be done to "The Rich" but they will not explain who the rich as they define them are and by then it will be too late.

                The politicians have been "licking their chops" over all the funds now in savings in the US. One way or the other, they (politicians) will figure out some way to get it in the future..

                    If it was to happen here you would see it coming. It isn't like this hasn't been building up for years.

                      You mean like taxes?

                        They've already defined it pretty clearly in the tax code. Anyone mid-middle class on up is now "Rich". Anyone below that is dirt poor and needs all the money from the rich people. No ifs, ands, or buts that's how it is. Any ethics I might have had about... lets just say paying less taxes, are rapidly diminishing. All thieves should die and that includes "legal" ones.

                        • The new definition of "rich" is any household with an income of about $75K gross. I tell me liberal friends that when the politicians talk about "taxing the rich" they aren't talking about the millionaires. No one believes me though.

                          The Greek vote is 61% "no" as of right now so it looks like they are going to leave the Euro. Things should be interesting tomorrow!

                          • What might happen? How are they going to continue to mooch? Seems like the moochers are going to get all bent out of shape and throw their large, mooching weight around once they've been told their "free" money is coming to an end.

                            • Greece rejected austerity. They will most likely be forced out of the eurozone, if they don't get debt relief.

                                kick them out, let them go to shit to serve as a warning to other socialist countries.
