Orwell and Kafka Do America: How the Government Steals Your Money–“Legally,” Of Course<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Due process and rule of law have been replaced with “legalized” looting by government in America.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that the government of Iran steals your cash if they find more than loose change in your car?<\/b>\u00a0They don’t arrest you for any crime, for the simple reason you didn’t commit any crime; but it isn’t about crime and punishment–it’s about\u00a0“legalizing” theft by the state.<\/i><\/p>\n

So the government toadies don’t charge you with a crime or arrest you–they just steal your money.<\/p>\n

Pity the poor Iranian people–clearly, there is no rule of law to protect them from their predatory, rapacious, fake-democracy, quasi-totalitarian government.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did you also know that if you deposit too much money in modest sums, the government of Iran steals all your deposits?<\/b>\u00a0They will claim–oh, the twisted logic of Orwellian, repressive governments–that you are obviously a drug dealer who is avoiding laws that require banks to report large deposits to the government.<\/p>\n

Once again, you won’t be charged with a crime–in true Orwellian fashion\u00a0the suspicion that you may have committed a crime is sufficient reason to steal your cash.<\/i>\u00a0Pity the poor Iranian people, living in such a banana-republic kleptocracy.<\/p>\n

Did you also know that if you are caught with any drug paraphernalia in your vehicle, the government of Iran steals your vehicle?<\/b>The crime isn’t a drug crime–it’s a property crime:\u00a0what are you doing with the government of Iran’s vehicle?<\/i><\/p>\n
