Court Rules OK On Tax Siezures Without Charges Filed
We've certainly lost a big one here,
This story is about a man selling cigarettes on-line, and refusing to collect the tax. After the taxing agencies come up short on charging him with anything, they siezed his assets anyway. The guy sued to get them back, but the court denies his attempt, because to oppose a siezure, the aggrieved must be the subject of a criminal or civil forfeiture action. But the agencies didn't do that; they just seized it, leaving this guy no way to challenge it. Giving taxing agencies this much power is despicable. "The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the government may seize all of a person's assets, shut down a business, and throw its employees out of work without notice or a hearing, no matter how weak the government's case may be," Wicker said. http://www.sacbee.com/2011/01/05/330...-taxes-to.html Read more: http://www.sacbee.com/2011/01/05/330...#ixzz1AB1NbvWJ |
This goes to show how divorced our "legal" system is from justice.

I have no sympathy for people who systematically scam the government and then whine about what the government does in response. This fool would not have been in business if he had been paying his cigarette tax. We can assume that he was paying his income tax. |
