Yea no joke.
And when Dems talk about tax cuts they often refer to it as an expense to the government.
The premise is that anything we own and/ or is NOT taxed is a gift from the government to the individual.
Very twisted and evil people running things.
I know of a case, where everything was confiscated from an old ranching couple—millions, cattle, equipment, money and all. They were recently exonerated of the single misdemeanor count of neglecting their cattle (terrible cold spell with deep snow/ice a few years ago), but they’re in their 80s.
