O.K., I have said way too much and will be lucky if anybody reads even half of what I wrote...

I read it. My prediction is still, circa 2018 or so, that we'll hear "All of you greedy people who saved for your retirement are going to have to forfeit your payback to those who didn't save anything for their entire lives."
And it will be supported by the same whiners who keep trying to tear down the successful element of our society. You know the tactic: Start the ripoff with the people who make a lot of money, and gradually expand it until it includes almost everyone.
The pattern was already established with the alternative minimum tax.
