    This thing could turn into a full fledged beggar thy neighbor protectionist war.

    According to the story on the front page of Saturday's South China Morning Post a host of mainland economic bigwigs led by former People's Bank of China monetary policy committee member Li Daokui are "livid" at what they see as the BoJ's efforts to devalue the yen.One disgruntled economist even accused the BoJ of “monetary blackmail” and called on the Chinese authorities to retaliate in kind … Chinese economists regard this policy as a devious attempt to drive down the value of the yen, and so boost the commercial competitiveness of Japanese exporters compared with their rivals in China.

    Liu said Japan's unprecedented easing programme, aimed at ending more than two decades of deflation, was "a monetary blackmail" targeted at other export-driven Asian countries such as China and that the central bank should sell more yuan and buy the US dollar to push down the yuan.

    They have been after me for a long time but I haven't paid tax in more than ten years because those rules favour me, both parties avoid targeting their base but they target the fringe

    Zero wants to cap your retirement and I'm sure take the rest. Apparently he is the decider on how much retirement is enough.

    “Under current rules, some wealthy individuals are able to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving,” the statement said."

    Discourage saving, yeah that's the ticket. Damned if he'll allow anyone too much money to retire. Or pass down to their children, donate to a church, a hospital, a museum, a school...
