First they came for your silver (1964, last year minted).
Then they came for your dollar (1971, final year of dollar convertibility to gold).
Then they came for your tax deductions (1986 Tax "Reform" repealed deductibility of credit card interest).
Then they came for your mortgages (1997, introduction of two year rule to get you to borrow and churn).
Then they came for your banks (1999, allowed commercial banks to act like investment banks but with FDIC backstop).
Now they are coming for your bank deposits (2013, Cyprus), and not coincidentally, your guns.
Next it will be your 401ks and IRAs.
And then?
Of course there were other firsts before 1964, but these will do for now.
