retirement accounts and seize a large chunk of all 401K accounts as well as any home equity home owners have built. They are already admitting to eyeing a wealth tax and that is the last and biggest prize out there. That is coming when they get the power. This is key to paying for all their huge "Green Dream" initiatives per a very recent WSJ article.

Based on the proposals coming out of the Dem primaries, I believe there will be a very real push to confiscate 401K’s within the next 10 years

That happens there will be a run on precious metals and the economy will tank as banks see record withdrawls.

They're trying to pit the haves and have nots.
This wealth tax is theft. Pure and simple theft.

It's been done in other countries. It's failed most places that it was tried.

What is most alarming to me is that the concept is actually gaining traction. Seems to me it's just a matter of time before they get enough support to make it happen.

How can you tax home equity? That doesn’t even make sense.

Unconstitutional theft (unlike the income tax, which is constitutional theft thanks to the 16th Amendment).

Your house is worth $300K, you only owe $100K on your mortgage

You have $200K in equity; therefore you OWE the government 10% (or whatever) of that equity ON TOP of what you pay in other taxes

Fork over $20K NOW or we take your home

See how that work?

That’s absurd if anyone is seriously talking about doing that.

Agree. I wonder how many conservatives will sit it out like the mid terms.
Look what that did. I have zero compassion for the "I have higher principles than to vote for either of those...I'll sit it out. That'll show 'em!!"

That's brave and edgy. Maybe it'll start a conversation!

Talk about crushing the real estate market. That basically makes the population serfs to the gov’t.

They will require our wifes/GF to be brave and switch genders. No one knows what will happen, but I’ll be bad

I don’t think anyone is seriously talking about taxing home equity. It’s nonsensical. These guys can prove me wrong but I think they’re posting fake news.

Vote Republican, straight ticket

It's more important now than ever

I used to research candidates and vote for the best candidate, I guess I still do, in the primaries...

I won't be voting for any Democrat in any election for the foreseeable future

and you think the folks that are OK with dressing a 12 year old boy like a $2 whore and parading him onstage in gay bars are worried about that?

The same people that insist you are racist if you wear a red hat?

The same people that want to give free healthcare to illegal aliens? And provide guaranteed income to all?

Where the hell do you think they plan to get the mo ey for their socialist agenda

Once the incentive to work is taken away, folks will stop working
