#4 Camel's nose under the tent. First the Financial Advisor, then their 'privileged' customers and 401K's. You didn't earn, save, and suffer the risk of investing those dollars. The government permitted you do do that.

#5 When druggies break into a house to steal to feed their habit it's evil. When pols do the same thing, its under the guise of law. It's still stealing. Their habits (spend, spend, spend!) are just different.
