Giving the government the ability to seize assets without any sort of hearing or due process, with the burden on the individual to prove innocence with the assumption of guilt, is obviously a bad thing. I can only imagine that it was implemented to fight the drug war. If you agree this is a bad result, and the situation has affected lots of people, then you agree that the government is capable of doing wrong. So you should agree that expansions of government power should be treated extremely skeptically and with serious concern. I do not “dismiss the idea of government” and I opened my post by saying so. I’m saying that we should try and limit the government’s power by default and try not to elect and empower lawmakers who believe otherwise.
