Government Takeover of 401(k)s and IRAs?
Bloomberg reports that the Obama Administration is considering measures to encourage Americans to convert their 401(k)s and IRAs into Government-provided annuities. The story has attracted a lot of negative commentary in the blogosphere:
Will Collier, Coming Soon: Substituting Government Annuities for Your 401(k)?
The Market Ticker, 401k/IRA Screw Job Coming?
ROFASix, Is the Government Coming for Your IRA and 401k?
"If The Do, They'll Be Running For Their Lives!"
No they won't people are accustom to the state now directing their lives in all aspects and way too many think this type of government control is a "good thing".

I disagree, we'll get an indication tomorrow. In any case, some are not so happy to be condescended to lately.
Right you piece of xxx, a tax law professor, certainly your wingnut. Get over yourself.
According to a July 2006 poll conducted by Scripps News Service, one-third of Americans think the government either carried out the 9/11 attacks or intentionally allowed them to happen in order to provide a pretext for war in the Middle East (a.k.a. a false flag operation). According to a May 2006 poll, 42% of Americans feel there is a cover-up regarding 9/11. According to an October 2006 Angus Reid poll, 81% of Americans feel the Bush administration is either hiding information on what they knew prior to the 9/11 attacks or mostly lying, and thousands of Americans have signed a petition for a new probe.
Anything other than wingnut blogs?

Is there anything that this administration doesn't want control of? It seems it might be a short list.

Is there anything the right doesn't misconstrue and make up lies about the government taking over things?
There's no public option, yet the right is still screaming about a government takeover of health care.
The FCC wants to keep the internet neutral and as is and the right screams that they are taking over the internet.
Now this.....
I swear, it must be hard living in constant fear the way you people do.

Do you actually believe that this bill for healthcare...whenever it get written and passed will be the last of that bill? This bill is just the foundation for more add ons, and a foot in the door for a public option add on. Don't be naive, everyone knows how bad it is, but the polticians want something/anything passed and then they can fix it in the future.
I swear, It must be hard living with your head in the sand as reality passes you by.

WSJ seems to say two Democrats were wanting to change stuff. Guess they didn't. And if you really think those two are going to try now, you're paranoid.
