Are we there yet ???? what's in the 14th amendment ???? What's McDonald vs Chicago have to do with it. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2010/rpt/2010-R-0314.htm, Why are states and the fed more worried about our guns than our economy, from what I read they are violating the constitution, I know some of these new government types took an oath while standing ankle deep in the graves of Sandy Hook, with their fingers crossed behind their backs.

What exactly has that got to do with a levy on Cypriot bank accounts?

Well , what happens over there might just happen over here,, the question still stands why is our governments state, local, fed,, more worried about our guns than our economy????? It is a no brainer, they got to keep us distracted from the real issues like what is going on over there. Will we see this story in our newspapers or on the morning network news tomorrow.??? and plus I just happened acrossed it,, figured I slip it in.Where are my manners I see you're new, welcome aboard, you'll soon learn my threads turn into trainwrecks fun to watch,, but not fun to be in...

The US government isn't trying to arrange a bailout from the EU. Why would it need to impose a levy? And as Skybird will no doubt point out, the US government can always 'tax savings' by printing money (Cyprus can't, obviously, as other EU members would be rather p****d off to see their own money devalued). Printing money has the added 'advantage' that it works just as well when savings are hidden under mattresses as when they are in the banks.

As for the US government being more concerned about guns than the economy, I suspect it is more likely the case that it is easier to propose plausible fixes for the former than the latter (assuming that you think there is anything that needs 'fixing' concerning guns - I get the impression you don't). It is an old trick - old as politics itself, I'd think - for politicians to disguise their inability to actually do anything fundamental in economics by making controversial proposals elsewhere.

Well said, Mr West. So what is the moral of this story????. Gee Wally I don't know. The moral of this story is that your money and wealth doesn't belong to you and is subject to confiscation, sound familar it has been said recently and has been in history books..You didn't build that, what in the left of Stalin is that. I hear they closed the banks in Cyprus till thursday.

You've made the mistake of trying to parse yubba logic into something resembling coherent thought. If you want to make any sort of sense out of it, it may help to down a pint of whiskey before reading.

Aaah you're to kind, well Mcdonald vs Chicago is a land mark case protecting our 2nd amendments rights, there is several trillion dollars in 401k and ira's and savings, don't pretend that these theives in DC haven't been figuring out a way to get their hands on this money for the continuiance of government, so the only thing that is standing in the way of that is, our 2nd amendment rights and the constitution, we are 16 trillion dollars in debt, so when we do implode where is it written that we won't go back to a free market system again that's normally what happens to a socialist country when it fails. I really don't see the 47% getting off the couch to fight for this left of Stalin dream, they won't get off the couch to go to work.
