So people who sacrifice now and put money away for the future get fucked and get their money taken and given to people that did nothing right and spent their life impulse purchasing and other bad decisions?
Yeah, that’d get people shooting, |

They will tax your holdings and they will tax your contributions and they will tax your withdrawals until there is nothing left.
They will rob you at every turn until they own it all. Then they will squander it. After that, they will own your real property, then your body and lastly your soul. |

If there is going to be a redistribution for the sake of portfolio equality, it will probably be funded by taxing existing 401k assets (not merely income).
If that's not enough, then taxing financial assets in general. Then assets in general. IIRC, asset taxation was used in the last few years in France to get over a severe budget shortfall. It was to be a one-time thing. Yeah right. Have another beer. BTW, it will never be enough.

During the early years of the Obama administration there was a Soros backed think tank group that was promoting GRAs. The government would seize private retirement funds to bail out the social security trust fund. You would only get a portion of your private retirement savings depending on your "requirements". When you die, your funds don't go to your estate. The government would manage the investments.

It's economic suicide. Most congressman are smarter than that. Even raising taxes has negative political consequences.
Politically savvy congressmen realize they can just keep spending more than income and nobody loses votes. The Fed will print the money needed and everyone will slowly notice their buying power evaporate. But it's far easier to accomplish politically than heavily taxing retirement accounts. People with market holdings will be happy about their wonderful market growth. Poor people will be happy with their monthly government checks. The losers are those who hold cash. |

The left would be just as pissed about any 401k seizing. They have just as many people with retirement savings as the right. Taxing Roth IRAs when they’re cashed out I can see though.

Feds are already in charge of your 401k. They tell you when you can access your money and they penalize you if you pull it early. They tell you when you have to start drawing it down. If you don't draw it down at a rate they approve, they penalize you. And even despite your last wishes, in the event of your untimely demise you may NOT assign anyone other than your spouse (if you are married) as beneficiary. Doesn't matter if you worked 50 years before marrying your current spouse, even if you were only married for 1 day at the time of death, the widow gets the money even if the deceased wanted that money to go to his kids from a previous marriage. And lastly, the money you earn from your 401k is currently taxed at the same rate as wage income rather than as capital gain. Additional taxation on your nest egg is inevitable. Yay 401k!

You'll have to sell eventually to convert your 401k assets into money to buy groceries, they're just going to tax the bejeezus out of us when we do. Yeah yeah Roth, good luck, nobody can guarantee that the Congress of 2042 won't gleefully hose you, tax laws certainly aren't written in stone. During the 08'-09' crisis the plan Democrats were pushing didn't touch existing 401k's (yet), it would create super duper safe federal bonds (loans to the government) that gave pathetic returns, from the point of inception forward everybody would be forced to buy said bonds, with a bunch of means testing forcing middle and high income earners to subsidize the poor so that all of our retirements would suck. Would have siphoned off the cash flow into new 401k's. It also rolled all of the imploding public pension plans into the same program so the rest of us would have to eat their losses. AFL-CIO was a major promoter. |

Lehman brothers, Enron .... there’s many examples of people’s entire retirements getting completely wiped out.
The C suite might serve a couple months here and there in those minimum security prisons. But nobody got shot, beat up or otherwise harmed. Sure there’s some belly aching here and there but not much after that. So you guys that say the shooting is gonna start, historically this hasn’t been the case. |
