This year, I'm writing a check for nearly 50% of what I earned in 2020. I have it saved up in account, and I'm paying it in one lump sum to the government. It's a fucking brutal check. Imagine having 50% of your total yearly earnings in a bank account you have to give away.

That analogy isn’t perfect. Civil assest forfeitures are executed against a small minority of people, so at best it’s a roll of the dice whether any given person will be affected, and that’s a big part of the unfairness. Everyone has to pay taxes and knows it ahead of time.

That is like a childs analogy. The equivalent would be the state announcing in advance that if you generate possessions they get a cut, because they provide you with services and *currency* Then despite being able to afford (with *gain*) to avoid, you chose not to.

I'm sorry, the state provides you with currency??
