The IRS is now seizing perfectly legal bank accounts and simply keeping the money, no crime ever charged.
They are doing this under a practice called civil asset forfeiture, which permits IRS agents to seize property they only suspect of being tied to some crime. No charges need ever be filed and the IRS is allowed to keep a share of whatever is taken.

As citizens we dropped the ball. While we were distracted the government decades ago created seizure laws and kept improving and modifying it to a point we have now under a power mad president. The authority for a seizing agency to start an administrative forfeiture action is found in the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. § 1607. The last president to change the seizure laws was Clinton. Bush also supported the laws to fight crime and terror. The law allows the federal government to seize property based only on what they deem as attempt at acquiring great wealth. 50,000 deposited is all that is needed.

And you wonder why people go crazy and shot people. Youbask me they shooting the wrong people. The giv has done gitten to big and needs to be knocked back down a few notches in a painful way.
Congress makes all IRS laws, don’t blame the IRS. Talk to your Senators/Reps. I did and got $665 they took out of one of my accounts years ago. It’s been law for a long time! Nothing new!
It will only get worse. The IRS targets successful businesses not those on welfare and assistance. This why theu have support from democrats who sit at home and earn their money by voting to enrich democratic leaders.
Time everyone got a job where you earn your way. Period

It should seize all of the Senates and Obamas because it all was gotten by selling their votes.
