Not a surprise they've been on about 401Ks for years.
The bastards hate to see us proles with untaxed money (although it does get taxed as ordinary income when we take it out to live on). And of course, since we managed to save some money to live on in retirement, we're the "evil rich" that are taking all the money that the blessed poor deserve since the economy is a zero sum game to demagogue politicians and their coalition of the tarded that keep them in office. |

Quoted: This. But the Commies always warn you about what they are going to do before they do it. It will start by taxing all new retirement savings... I can imagine that in the not too distant future, they will be successful. Then the next step after is to not grandfather and instead come for all the "back taxes" on retirement accounts to "save social security". That'll be interesting. They'll probably boil that frog slowly too. "It's only a 3% tax, what's the big deal?" Then they'll do additional rounds until you pay out the ass.

The goal of “equity” is exactly the same as communism, everyone is equally poor, despite what they do, make, invent, create, or contribute. They are going to chip away every single thing to make that possible.

Quoted: This is total gaslighting. 401ks and IRAs tax benefits are nothing to the truly wealthy. View Quote Correct. Not even to the moderately wealthy. The contribution limits make it a middle class program. But the Left really wants to destroy the middle class, so we can expect more of that. |

if you read between the lines.
1- they don't want us to retire at all. 2- they don't want us to be financially capable of living any of our dreams at any age. 3- they want to bleed us dry for their own cause 4- they will still be able to make millions off of illicit, back door wall street insider information. |

Quoted: Yup. Most people who think they are middle class are in fact below the mark. What's left of the middle class is steadily evaporating. In a lot of areas in the US middle class starts at over 100k a year. View Quote $100k/yr in montucky is downright poor in 2024. $100k is the new $50k. |

Quoted: Why dont we just stop fucking the economy further by paying for shit for people who dont earn it, spending money we dont have and then we domt have to impose extra taxes! View Quote That is too difficult for congress critters to accomplish and still be able to sell us out and make millions/billions over our dead bodies...... |

Except they’ll do it right in front of you while lying right to your face that they aren’t doing it. Just like our border situation. |

Quoted: Quoted: How about do away with SS, You pick a provider that you like, when you get a job you tell them which provider and your account number. That employer sends 7% of your pre tax pay check to that provider. This would spur competition for providers with the lowest fees and the highest average return. Get the gov out of retirement Fixed What is your plan since you didn't like that one. Why do you think SS started to begin with? History will repeat itself all over again without a plan. Not saying that plan was perfect but at least you got to keep all YOUR money and can pass it on. |

Not saying that plan was perfect but at least you got to keep all YOUR money and can pass it on. View Quote The plan? Real life consequences. If you fail to plan for retirement then you die penniless in your kids home or in the poorhouse. Retirement accounts are currently available to anyone. The government or employers don’t need to be involved at all. |

That’s one way to create the biggest depression ever seen.
The 401k dollars are the biggest chunk of stock market ownership. It would kill the stock market. |

So they abandoned Nationalize the 401k plan?
The plan where every American will get an account whether they contribute to it or not, and guarantee an x amount will be put into your account and a guarantee % in earnings. |

Isn't this what the Soviet's did? The villified the Kulaks, which were the upper middle class merchants, small business owners, large farm owners, stole their wealth and killed them off. Once one tier was done, magically the next "not quite as rich but still richer than other people" were the new enemies of the proletariat, and the cycle repeats itself. |

Quoted: This is total gaslighting. 401ks and IRAs tax benefits are nothing to the truly wealthy. View Quote Democrats think anyone making over $60k is doing well and anyone making 6 figures is rich. Over half the population can't come up with $1000. If you can, YOU'RE RICH! |

Quoted: How about do away with SS, and do a mandatory 401k that is not tied to or only available to employers. You pick a provider that you like, when you get a job you tell them which provider and your account number. That employer sends 7% of your pre tax pay check to that provider. This would spur competition for providers with the lowest fees and the highest average return. Get the gov out of retirement View Quote I don't know if its a California thing or not but I have to believe it is because my employer wouldn't do it. If you don't want an 401k plan, you have to state it in writing, other wise 5% will automatically be deducted from your check and placed into a account created for you. |

Quoted: How about we just abolish social security. Kthxbye. View Quote Absolutely not We all paid in we deserve our money back. The government can give me all my money back with interest, and then cancel it if they want to. All joking aside I think this is a great idea. I hope everyone who has said things like the above, or supports SS gets their 401k raided to pay for SS. SS is an unconstitutional socialist welfare program for old people. It should never have existed, and should end asap. Yes a lot of people are going to get fucked myself included, but I’d rather fix it now so my kid doesn’t get fucked. Some people would rather their descendants take that fucking though. |
