so intsead of going after the ultra rich they go after average joe...and the the 85 richest people who hold the majority still hold it without spending a dime...what a surprise...not....

Here's an idea, why don't they confiscate the savings and assets off the houses of Rothchild, Rockefeller, Morgan and Carnegie first, then the Vatican, then the Royal family, then all the Billionaires and then the multi-millionaires.
Then we will see how things sit, I reckon my bank account would go up - just like everybody elses.
Now that's my idea of forced redistribution of wealth.
Moet for everyone.........
The government is flat broke.Even by their own assessment, the US government’s “net worth” is NEGATIVE 16 trillion. That’s as of the end of 2012 (the 2013 numbers aren’t out yet). But the trend is actually worsening.
In 2009, the government’s net worth was negative $11.45 trillion. By 2010, it had dropped to minus $13.47 trillion. By 2011, minus $14.78 trillion. And by 2012, minus $16.1 trillion.
Here’s the thing: according to the IRS, there is well over $5 trillion in US individual retirement accounts. For a government as bankrupt as Uncle Sam is, $5 trillion is irresistible.
They need that money. They need YOUR money. And this MyRA program is the critical first step to corralling your hard earned retirement funds.

I am not trying to offend you but your mindset is the same as the people wanting to do this. The progressives put the rights of the masses over the rights of the individuals . Wrap your head around it and it might show you a different way to look at it.
The progressive way has never worked in the past and it will fail in the future.....It has fatal flaws the biggest being the need for individual rights.edit on 14-2-2014 by SubTruth because: (no reason given)

This doesn't look to be redistribution of wealth. It looks like it's to help out the fat cats corporations or am I misunderstanding this?

No matter how you try and sell the idea, theft is theft!
Citizens will not stand for it. Great Britain, France and Germany to name just three will lynch anyone that tries this. It is in opposition to everything parents teach children.

When they do roll out a world currency 1st world countries will get pennies on the dollar while 3rd world countries will break even. This is the progressive pipe dream dear readers.

Do they indicate if the funds will be drawn from 401K and employer based savings programs, or personal savings accounts?
Small detail, but curious if there was any mention on that?
