People forget that part of their 401K is already subject to seizure, 10% unless you follow the rules. If too many people want their money why not raise the seizure percentage to 50% or more? And if the entire account is seized why not calculate the “just compensation” due at a value less taxes and any penalties that would have to be paid on the account?

For example, you have $100,000 in your 401k. Your maximum tax rate is set at 25% plus penalty of 10% and now the “value” of your $100,000 account is $65,000 less interest from the date the seizure order was issued.

So you receive your $65,000 (or less) check of taxable income, and all the “due process” necessary to make it legal.

Very good points and right to the heart of it all. Taxes were, are and always will be legalized theft. Especially income taxes. What does a man own more that the fruit of his own labor? They tell us slavery was abolished in 1963. But it was re-instated via the 16th amendment. If they can take the fruits of your labor, they can TAKE anything.
