DOJ Claims Money Isn't Property: A Legal Absurdity
2025-01-31
In a shocking legal argument, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) claimed that confiscating $50,000 from a small business owner, Chuck Saine, didn't violate his property rights because money isn't property. Their reasoning? The government creates money, can tax it, and the Constitution allows spending for the 'general welfare'. This absurd claim challenges fundamental property rights and has sparked outrage. The case will be decided in court, but the DOJ's argument raises serious concerns about governmental overreach.
