They will do this one increment at a time by deceiving people. I am a member of the church and I ask, where is the church, as our society is being enslaved one increment at a time? We have more power than we think. We need to stop worrying about making ourselves comfortable in more and more large buildings with more and more large programs and we need to make a difference in the day to day lives of people. Jesus came to stop the bondage. We must obey God and not man. We can certainly turn down this “voluntary” plan and spread the word and stop the irresponsible government spending. We can get personally out of debt. And, most importantly, we can get into intercesson and spirital warfare and stop ourselves from being deceived by the enemy. We can claim the power of the Holy Spirit given to the church so long ago and stop being victims and be the overcomers that Jesus was looking for in the Book of Revelation. God Bless You with all His fullness.

Some many have the opportunity of taking their money out of their plans by paying taxes and penalties while others may be able to take a portion of the money out in the form of loans. Both groups could then use that money to hedge against the inflation risk by purchasing tangibles.

Another option would be to acquire foreign real estate through an IRA. It is doubtful Uncle would require the repatriation of money invested in foreign real estate due to the illiquid nature of the investment.

Just a little food for thought.

The Chinese are less enthusiastic these days to buy our debt and are shoring up their own domestic economy to make themselves less dependent upon tapped out American consumers. The only mechanism the U.S. has to entice fresh buying of treasury bonds is interest rates. Raising interest rates in our current economic environment would be economic suicide. Can you imagine what would happen to whats left of the real estate market if that happened?

IRAs and 401(k)s have a giant bulls-eye on them. If they can force people into annuities backed by long-term treasuries, in this low interest rate environment, they win and IRA and 401(k) holders lose. Annuities are a much better deal after interest rates have shot up to double digits and begin a long-term decline. Annuities are an insurance product and we need to look no further than AIG to question the solvency of that industry.

I view voluntary social cooperation as a huge boon to the human race, but I view aggression and fraud as evils regardless of what banner flies over them. Seizing the results of someone’s labor is equivalent to seizing hours from them and directing them to carry on activities of your choosing. That is immoral: half my neighbors have no more right to do this than does one dictator.
