LISTEN NOW: Teresa Ghilarducci:
'The Most Dangerous Woman in America'

Teresa Ghilarducci is the director of the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis at the New School for Social Research and the author of the book When I'm Sixty-Four: The Plot Against Pensions and the Plan to Save Them. She also wants to see 401(k) and Individual Retirement Accounts replaced by "government retirement accounts." (Yes, I am having a bit of fun with the "most dangerous" tag.) In an interview with my guy, Kirby Wilbur of KVI 570 AM in Seattle, Ghilarducci says one of her goals is—you guessed it—to "spread the wealth." Go about 12 minutes into the interview to hear it for yourself, gang.

Wade's comments are right on the money. This is the problem with these people (liberals) and Obama let the cat out of the bag with his "you didn't build this" comment. These twits have the mentality that the money we invest was somehow grown at the expense of others, hence they are justified in seizing our money. Quite simply, there are not publishable words that I can write in this forum that are strong enough to condemn this conduct. By no means am I rich. I put myself through college (with federal tax dollar grants going to my college, so it's gvmt paid for somehow). Learned a trade in the US Navy (on a taxpayer funder aircraft carrier). I scrimped and saved and my employer did a company match, although those are now disappearing. I started a Roth IRA with more of my scrimping. Yet somehow the self propelled landfill of this country who has zero ambition to get ahead and provide for themselves is "entitled" to my earnings. This is after I paid taxes my entire life to support these malcontents. Yes PBO and Ghilarducci, you and your ilk are getting EXACTLY what you desire. Total class warfare while you and your party destroy this country. Bravo.
