Now, they are looking to tax our 401k's and the interest we pay on our home loans. Enough is enough.

Obama Eyes 401K and IRAs for Government Control and Theft Submitted by TimG on Fri, 01/08/2010 - 14:31

What is startling with this headline is its date - two years ago and more, Ron Paul was warning all who would listen, that our retirement savings were in danger of being taxed by a congress that refuses to stop spending.

This morning,  on Fox News,  they reported that this is, now,  being seriously considered by Obama and his fellow Dems.  There are 18 trillion dollars in IRA and 401K savings.  If you are of the younger variety,  you do not yet realize that large sums of money,  sooner or later,  become targets for taxation,  since no one in Washington DC really wants to cut expenses.

As an important aside, you should know that there is more and more talk of canceling out our home mortgage interest deductions,  as well.

The single reason I oppose all tax increases is because they only secure additional funds to be spent.    First things first:  cut, cap and balance THEN ask for a tax increase.  We all would be happy to help with our money . . . . . . or did you forget that it is our money?
