The government confiscated gold in the 30’s. How/why is this any different?

If they “give” you a government account with like balance to that which they confiscate, have they met complied with the 5th Amendment prohibition against confiscation of private property without just compensation?

And the people should have staged an armed uprising then. But they didn't.
