Pelosi Wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income.



... THIS IS ALARMING!!!


WINDFALL TAX

What true American would do this to the working Americans here in America ? Isn't this our country? Aren't we supposed to prepare ourselves to retire with incomes that keep us off the welfare rolls and give us the opportunity to care for ourselves as we grow older?

You aren't going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401Ks and Mutual Funds! Alas, it is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

Boy, are we in trouble... This woman is frightening. .' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.'

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: 'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help (?) along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.'

Send it on to your friends. I just did!! Regardless of your political affiliation.....if you are RETIRED it will effect you.

Even if you are not yet retired, this could affect you and your family.

I don't know what retirements is like in other countries, but this is some real BullS*** imo. If Pelosi really wants to help make life more fitting for illegal aliens and people who want to take advantage of the welfare system here in the U.S., then she should do it out of her own back pocket and not force responsible investors to fork over the dough. :dozey:

Don't worry... Most Americans can never afford to retire anyways.

You are of a rather strange generation then...

Usually because most Americans are irresponsible investors/spenders. W2Ks and social security are fine and dandy, but that's government and corporate territory which is hardly enough control for me as I don't understand the logic of putting my retirement in the hands of our genius leaders that got our country into such a financial mess to begin with. It's best for Americans to depend on themselves when it comes to retirement these days tbh. Capitalism's not evil, it's for people who have dreams and goals. However, it's also not for the fiscally irresponsible.

Why do I (as well as others) have to be punished just because the vast majority of Americans are stupid with money and/or are too lazy to get a real job? (If they even have a job at all that is.)

We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest

If this ^ doesn't scream BS... :dozey: Communism doesn't work. China and Russia found out the hard way.

I'm starting a new savings account next year when I begin my new career, and that bitch-a$$, cammie crook Pelosi had better keep her mitts out of it or I'm gonna have problems with the system. :hmph:

Many people who are on welfare need better reasons to be on it than just being fat, stupid, and lazy and illegal immigrants can piss off. They aren't legal citizens anyways. :end of rant:
