Not just "No"...

By DocJ - Posted on October 23rd, 2008

... but "Bloody Hell, I'm grabbing my torches, pitchforks, tar, feathers and every weapon and piece of ammo I can get my hands on NO!"

Quote:
The Democrats want to end the private retirement system that has allowed Americans to become a vast investor class and put them back in thrall of the federal government. This is nothing more than a second welfare system that would sit on top of the crumbling Social Security entitlement. It would leave the American working and middle classes with no retirement option other than a government handout.

If the Democrats control both Congress and the White House, kiss your 401(k)s goodbye, and get into the bread lines first before the crowd arrives.

And that, mi amigo, is the most awesome openng paragraph for an open thread I could possibly imagine!

Well, of course I have a Plan B.

Cash-out my 401k and IRAs (which will be next, of course), take the hit (which I know will hurt), pay off my HELOC and roughly 1/4 my remaining mortgage principal with what's left, and dumb-up like the rest of the sheep...

... all the while, making sure my rifles are clean and well-oiled and that I have plenty of ammo.

I could go either way.
