IS THEIR ANY TRUTH ABOUT GOVT GOING AFTER IRA’S OR 401K’S AND TAKING UP TO 50% OF MONEY



No, unless you are referring to the 50% excess accumulation penalty for failing to take an RMD. This penalty has always existed, but the IRS has been granting waivers of the penalty to just about anyone who discovers a shortfall, makes it up, and then files Form 5329 to request the penalty be waived. 

Maybe.  Triditional IRA are taxed as regular income (since you did not pay taxes when you deposited the money in the IRA) the top rate is  37% plus 3.8% for the health insurance Plus taxes on Social Security.  Early withdrawal add 10% penitaly.
