Give Politicians Power And It Certainly Will

Asset Forfeiture Is A Mockery Of The Bill Of Rights. There Is No Presumption Of Innocence, No Need To Prove You Guilty (or Even Charge You With A Crime), No Right To A Jury Trial, No Right To Confront Your Accuser, No Right To A Court-appointed Attorney (even If The Government Has Just Stolen All Your Money), And No Right To Compensation For The Property That's Been Taken.

The American Heritage Was One Of Individual Liberty, Personal Responsibility And Freedom From Government ... Unfortunately ... That Heritage Has Been Lost. Americans No Longer Have The Freedom To Direct Their Own Lives ... Today, It Is The Government That Is Free - Free To Do Whatever It Wants. There Is No Subject, No Issue, No Matter ... That Is Not Subject To Legislation.

In The 1880s, People All Over The World Looked To America For Inspiration. Its Very Existence Was Proof That It Was Possible To Have A Relatively Free And Peaceful Country. No Income Tax, No Foreign Wars, No Welfare State, No Intrusions On Civil Liberties.

A Little Government Involvement Is Just As Dangerous As A Lot - Because The First Leads Inevitably To The Second.

Give Politicians Power And It Certainly Will Be Abused Eventually - If Not By Today's Politicians, Then By Their Successors.
