The recent economic downtown is giving lots of room for the socialist left to come up with great ideas to control your life in the US. The most recent is a scheme for the government to take over all 401k account. This would be akin to the Canadian government taking control of all RRSPs, and very similar to actions that are being taken by the great country of Argentina.
Wouldn't it be great if the government took over your entire private retirement investment, gave you a 3% return on your investment, forced you to invest 5% of your income, and then contributed $600 to it a year? Isn't it great that the US government would want to GIVE you $600? Government has absolutely nothing to give that it hasn't already taken from you. I guess the idea of getting $600 of your own money back is an added benefit. Knowing the US government though, they'll just print it, which would just be another tax on you, or they'll charge it to one of these major credit cards and in return have to tax you more to pay it back.
Considering the US government has done an amazing job managing social security, who wouldn't want to put their personal savings into their hands?
The biggest question would be: what right does any government have to take over one's private investments, or any private property from an individual? None, though it would be in line with the governments best skill: stealing.
For their own sake, I hope the left will pass some anti-gun legislation once they take over the country in January because there still might be some free-minded people that might find some use for them. . .

This is clearly fear mongering.
I like to monger fear. Have I mongered your fear?
No, but those who publish such trash do.
My trash?
You didn't publish it. You're just spreading it.
Its not like I'm posting Bill O'Reilly.
Ron Paul is one step to the left from Bill O'Reilly.
Maybe on some topics, but O'Reilly has no integrity and loves government, at least his government. Ron Paul doesn't even come to close to O'Reilly.
He's still the next in line if you move from right to left.
And what's worse: Ron Paul is part of the same party as O'Reilly.
Politics is more of a circle than a straight line.
I disagree.
Too many issues to be a straight line.
Could you be more specific?
No.
Why not? You are the one making the claim. I don't see many on the left favoring a pro-life position, nor do I see many on the right favoring pro-choice position. It's just like a straight line with two ends.
