Son, I've already gotten much of my money OUT of the banking system.
You don't think he would stop with just the top 1%, do you?
There will be confiscations of money from almost everybody's accounts to rescue the economy from the 'emergency' that will begin any day now.

Is this a test to tax retirement accounts like the Roth IRA and Education Savings Accounts, and force bail-ins for the big banks?
