RE: Civil Asset Forfeiture: Theft Without Conviction

in #politics7 years ago

I think any country that confiscates the property of its citizens without due process is undervaluing its citizens. This may be a great way to generate some additional revenue but at the cost of those individual that are actually capable of work and improving the status of the country. As the problem worsens, this causes higher iq and productive people to move away from the country. This leads to a lowering of the overall iq of the country and inevitably to the decline of the country and states.

Sort:  

You are exactly right! Buy this man the adult beverage of his choice!

The question left to ask is, why...? Why would a nations leadership want to do this knowing that sometime in the future, their actions will wreck the nation. My answer is greed, inexhaustible greed for both money and power. They simply do not care what it does to the nation in the future, they only care about increasing their power and or wealth. Declining IQ's of the citizens, also a perfect situation. Stupid idiots who only care about entertainment are easily controlled and will never bite the hand that steals from them.

I would def. agree with. I'd also like to add to this by saying that I think that Some people in charge simply don't understand the consequences of their actions. They are severely deranged in their thinking. Some have been heavily indoctrinated with Marxist and extreme social justice ideologies. There are many others as well. It's a shame because there is so much that could be gained. It sucks because it usually takes a major catostrophy to backpeddle from these issues. I don't want things to have to come to that but everyday it's seeming like we get closer and closer to that edge.

Again, spot on! I don't want to have to do the 'major catastrophe' thing to back peddle from these issues. We shouldn't be there yet. We have things we can do first, like go to school board meetings and city council meetings, county commissioner meetings and such. With enough numbers, the Marxists and socialists that infest these institutions can be silenced and removed.

Yea i know, people who do that end up going to jail for their actions. The only reason that works is because that person was the lone voice of reason, easily silenced. They can't haul everyone to jail, there isn't room and money to house/feed that many people. Strength is in the numbers.

I know that too, we, the like minded silent opposition are too busy working, over taxed as it is, unable to afford what we need to survive, ect. ect. ect.... That's the point. They have us right where they want us. We need to bust the mold and get out from under the control they have for us. Tell the boss you're not going to work today, you have to protest something. If you don't, there won't be any need to go to work later anyway.

So much knowledge being given in your comments my friend. You are right on it. There's much to be done and I personally believe that we can rise above this. We just need to understand that it wont be an easy battle. Great talking with you and take care of yourself out there!

As much as I would like to believe the the numbers are on the side of reason I don't think that is the case any longer. Most of the population in the western world is on the receiving end of government goodies, willingly or not. With pensions, unemployment insurance, and government regulated registered accounts people are trapped in the system. That is the politicians game plan, make the populace dependent on the government and they can control us. Democracy is a majority rule and the majority votes for government handouts.

I have an article with a similar sentiment if you would like feel free to check it out.
