Taking away rights started with the Sherman's act being used against Standard Oil over 100 years ago now, the people didn't care, they always hated the wealthy, nobody cares when some wealthy people lose their rights and lose their property.
Taking away property continued with the introduction of the IRS, nobody cared, because the original concept was supposedly to remove duties and import and alcohol taxes and instead to implement an income tax on the top 2% of the earners, and the original highest tax was 7%. Nobody cared, because people hate the wealthy and they also hate paying taxes. In any case, normally people define 'wealthy' being anybody who has more money then they do (so you ask a guy that makes 20K, he sees anybody making 40K+ as wealthy, a 40K guy sees a 70K guy as wealthy, 70K guy sees 120K guy as wealthy, 120K guy sees 150K guy as wealthy, 150K guy sees 200K guy as wealthy, 200K guy sees 400K guy as wealthy, 400K guy sees 700K guy as wealthy, etc.etc.)
They introduced the Fed in 1913 (same year as the IRS), in 1917 they gave the Fed the power to print money to buy bad US gov't debt (bonds). So people didn't care, I mean who cares, the gov't did that rather than raising more taxes to grow, and the people that got screwed were those with more savings, and everybody hates the wealthy. Well, today the real rate of inflation is north of 10% and the prices are only slightly rising because the inflation is exported to those '3rd world nations' that end up working for worthless USD and exporting their actual goods they produce to the USA. (This will stop soon.)
They steal people's property all the time, they created entire classes of poor people by introducing the minimum wage to destroy competition by the blacks to the unions back in the thirties. Before that time the black unemployment was lower than white unemployment and many other statistics were going really well for the blacks. Well, then they started 'fighting poverty', picture time.
Taking away property is long standing government tradition. From 'anti-trust' to income taxes to printing money (inflation) to payroll taxes and SS and Medicare and FDIC and every department and exists, even the latest nonsense with the Nevada ranch, it's all one big happy Mafia family, that's what the government is.
You are the property and they are the owners. This is modern day democratically created and maintained slavery.
