First we got used to accepting that we are only allowed to keep as much of our income as the government "lets" us keep. Now they have ratcheted it up to include real property. I don't see how this is materially different than what Mugabe did to white farmers in Zimbabwe.

Exactly what my wife said. Here it is the courts doing it though. The Dims are getting pushed out of elective office, so now they're using the courts as a last resort. Here's a case where I live:

It's something new every day. The courts are running Fish and Game and Forestry.
Well, at least lately, Mugabe doesn't mouth platitudes about how Zimbabwe provides equality under law and protects its citizens' rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, let alone stops private property from being stolen, er, taken for others' private use. So maybe it's a little less hypocritical when it happens there.
