Confiscation of all private property and bank/investment accounts ought to solve all the federal government’s fiscal difficulties.

During the 1992 election Clinton made a statement to the effect he didn't believe individuals should be allowed to own the “natural resources” on or under there property that they should only own the surface of the property.

I've been waiting for the dems to make a move in that direction ever since.

Driving the price of fuel up they way they are I think is all part of the plan to seize the mineral wealth from the owners.

You are on to something. It will just be in degrees. There have already been proposals to Federalize IRA/401k type accounts in the guise of "protecting" the account holder from adverse market conditions. The government would take all of the private account balances and replace them with a government guarantee of a low, but allegedly safe, rate of return. I think some of the EU countries have flirted with this idea, as well.
