As one that has planned for my retirement, I don't want my assets to become a source for someone that has not or, someone that took their own control and screwed up.
Then you'd better hope that the real loonies in the Admin don't get their way, and move us to a "Fair Tax" (national sales tax of about 25%). That way, you'll be paying 25% in tax on savings that have already been income-taxed.
