    Congratulations America, the 1% is nearly done taking all your money. I’m excited to see what comes next.

        I wasn’t able to start saving for retirement until my 30s, so I’ve joked for a while that my retirement plan is to die early. It’s not so much of a joke anymore.

          yeah, I’m with you-- I’m coming up on retirement age. The choice is to go along with our abysmal system or topple it and topple my life savings/social security and a lifetime of being thrifty.

      There’s still plenty of money left to take. First they will take all the money people have saved in social security, basically zeroing everyone’s retirement funds. Then they will transfer public infrastructure to private companies basically giving out things bought with everyone’s taxes. And finally they will force everyone to work themselves to death for slave wage basically taking away your freedom.
