Great piece but this isn't entirely correct. In our system, the state must prove guilt, rather than the accused proving innocence. But this case is important to small business owners everywhere and I hope they prevail.
“The other dirty little secret about this law is that when it was passed, $10,000 was a LOT of money. It isn’t any more.”
And through the cost of living ruse you get paid more and more but it buys less and less.
Not when it comes to civil forfeiture. The defendant must prove innocence, more specifically, that is his assets were not gained through illegal behavior. No criminal charges (the kind where the State must prove guilt) even need to be filed. It’s a tidy system.
Ya wanna another laugh? If you consistenly deposit amounts just under 10K to avoid the reporting, the Feds will hit you with “structuring” charges.
In essence Oabmacare for anyone who purchases it is actually catastrophic insurance.
The High Deductibles will not help anyone who seeks preventive medicine, they will have to pay for it.
Only those who are given free insurance through Medicare will be insured for preventive medicine and have no deductibles.
Obamacare is insurance for the people in this country who have been depending on society to feed them , house them, and baby sit them for generations, with the rest of us paying for it.
Obamacare is for the poor and the useless, with the Middle Class paying the bill. It is insurance for the typical Obama voter. With those in the Middle Class who voted for it, being too stupid to understand that until they get hit broadside with that wad of dung being tossed at them.
Put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard. Bureaucracies by nature usurp power and everything does not relate back to drugs.
Some of us weren't cheering. We saw exactly where this was heading and spoke out about it.
Congratulations to all you drug warriors out there, you've sure done a bang up job of destroying the Constitution!
This one most certainly does.
That would be Debbie Stabenow or Carl Levin......take your pick.
I drive by that market all the time, it's a nice place in a nice location......
And that bank is right across the street which makes even more sense for the family.......
Good for you
Only a fool would sign up for 0bamacare
Not if it’s 0bama’s IRS, obvious
I am a 51 year old small business owner. My wife is 49. We are both in good health, but my wife does take meds for high blood pressure.
We had individual health insurance. They have been “cancelled” with the option of being replaced with policies that have much higher deductibles, fewer benefits (that actually benefit us, since we don’t need maternity), and a much higher cost, just over double what we are paying now.
Our insurance agent is telling us that our only option is to go on “Obamacare.” There are currently only two major health insurance providers in the state and both are offering policies WAY out of our reach, but on the state exchange we will, with subsidies, be able to get insured for about 20% more than we are paying now.
These new policies have much higher deductibles and fewer benefits than our current policies, but at least we will be covered if anything catastrophic happens.
Do you know of a better option? I’d love to hear it.
I’m speaking theoretically, of course.
I do not disagree with your conclusion. The actions engendered by the so-called "WOD" has manifested great harm to our 'free society.'
Thanks cripplecreek.
I’m sure that many a folks that are against this are supportive of the foundational policies that have led to these abuses. I’d like to send out a big thank you to those that supported the elimination of private property rights via smoking bans on private property and a special shout out to President Richard Nixon, R, that brought us the war on drugs!
Progressivism must destroy private property.
