Red Army, eat your heart out...
Guess which major political party wants to march out and seize the property of the Evil Rich on behalf of The People?
Ha! Guess again.
Ever so much more dramatic for the voters than simply fining convicted criminals or imprisoning them.
...Rep. Richard H. Baker, Louisiana Republican...hopes the legislation will give the SEC seizure powers much like the Drug Enforcement Administration.
I could fill books with the monstrous abuses under the DEA seizure laws, which can take property before a conviction or even a trial, and good luck getting it back. I don't expect much different if the SEC is given such powers.
Hello, Republicans. If I'd wanted a dictatorship I'd have voted Green.
