- Ruler4you, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3This is clearly a criminal act. If it wasn't for the fact we live in a totalitarian regime where money is concerned there might be a legal remedy. But since we are owned by the state, and rent our property from the state it logically folows that there is nothing we own that doesn't belong to the state. Welcome to socialism California. Hope you enjoy it.
- teknokon, on 05/16/2008, -0/+3State-sponsored thievery continues. Isn't it great? If they don't have the money after over-stepping their constitutional limits and rampant spending, they'll just confiscate your property and sell it to raise the needed funds. Not too dissimilar from drug addicts who will steal and hock other people's property to support their habit. It's just as sustainable, too. Recent figures indicate that even if the government seized 100% of all private and corporate income and assets, the country would still be $62 trillion in the hole (not adjusted for inflation). Nothing like looking ahead, eh? Where's the oversight on this kind of crap, anyway?
- kirralin23, on 05/16/2008, -0/+2I couldn't agree with Ruler4you more. A state should not be able to simply steal property. This is outrageous.
- inactive, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1California residents voted the people into office who then legalized theft via "unclaimed property" seizure.
Will any California elected official be held accountable by the voters? (I say not likely.)
Several stories have suggested California is facing/in a huge fiscal crises - services, programs, and benefits costing way more for years than they tax (seize).
Moral to the story - don't bank in California.
