Not only that but this sh*t is so complicated we have to hire professionals to navigate it. This has created a whole industry - including turbotax. Those guys will lobby to make sure no simplification of the tax code ever sees the light of day.

That poor guy couldn’t have been more respectful to that cop, answered every question, apologized for his traffic violation, and just elected to exercise his rights that are supposed to be protected by the 4th Amendment. He had 6 dogs with him, 3 of them not in cages. So the trooper gets the BS hit from a drug sniffing dog to let him invade the guy’s space and steal his life savings. I guess he’s lucky that that tyrant didn’t also execute his pets. This is where America is right now. Gangs ransack stores at will while law abiding citizens are harassed and have their lives totally disrupted.

Think about it for a moment though.... This is exactly what the left wants. They have vilified the cops for so long that now only the lowest caliber (no pun intended) people are gravitating to those jobs. We shouldn't be surprised that this kind of thing results, and I'll wager it will happen more and more until we get rid of leftist governments.

But we won't. The allure of free stuff and neverending promises of paying off your degree will once again lure the ignorant to pull the D lever yet again.

It’s not just the sadistic cop that seems to enjoy f*****g up people’s lives. It’s also incredible that there are laws enabling them. Carry cash and the government can confiscate it and YOU are forced to prove that you are innocent rather than the government proving guilt. A couple of years ago there was disinflation and banks were charging customers to hold their money. So paper currency was actually a good investment. Until the government takes it away when you don’t violate any laws.

This is outrageous. A man is moving across country (from Las Vegas) to take care of his father (in New Jersey). Everything he owns is with him including a lot of cash, silver, and jewelry. He was pulled over for a traffic infraction and they cops confiscate his money, metal, and jewelry. He committed no crime and the government wants to “settle” by keeping 40% and giving him back 60%. F*****g tyrants in PA.

He has gotta pay his fair share. Should have been 50% plus penalties and interest

If people knew the max penalties are probation and paying them back, how many more would willfully evade taxation and attempt to play the audit lottery?

I'd absolutely love it if some sharp lawyers started using the Biden case and claiming precedent. That's the way to fight two tiered justice "fire with fire". We should have written laws and follow them, but if we're going to play the absurd precedent game instead of having real laws then use it as a weapon to bludgeon the courts for past stupidity, dishonesty, and favoritism. Make it hurt.

Quit whining and just pay your taxes. The gall of some people, after everything Biden and his family has sacrificed to serve this country they deserve a little leeway. Be grateful we have a president we can all respect and admire, be grateful for all that he and his family has done for us.

Exactly.

The only 2 things that a Biden knows are truth and hard work.

Joe was raised in an African, catholic, Puerto Rican, Muslim, home and both his parents were gay. He spent his summers as teenager working as a lifeguard at a pool and all the kids rubbed his leg hairs. He beat up the baddest man on the planet (cornpop). Before entering politics Joe drove trucks but that’s a story for another time.

Joe is quite literally the Forrest Gump of politics.

His son Hunter is the smartest person that Joe knows.

It is interesting you make this a right left issue. This has been going on for many years. Texas has been notoriously bad, as has Tennessee. Hardly, leftist states.

And standing up to Corn Pop was truly inspirational.

I get the concept behind civil forfeiture; however, how could it ever have passed muster except for very narrow events? It first flies in the face of innocent until proven guilty by assuming that material possessions were illegally gained without proving them so. Secondly it would seem to fall on the wrong side of the 4th Amendment in allowing government to confiscate possessions without proof of illegal gain. This is more like Nazi Germany stuff than what we are supposed to be about. If a cop stops someone who indisputably possesses illegal materials such as drugs (not a small planted quantity), illegal weapons, money from a bank robbery, and those were discovered legally (not through coercion), then it seems like arrest and confiscation of the material as evidence makes sense. Even that shouldn't open the doors to wholesale search and seize of other property.

That was my point that this is what the left is trying to instill.
