There is a change in the game coming up at the beginning of the year with the enforcement of this Obamacare stuff, but it is apparently tied to that whole "fiscal cliff" deal that the talking heads are commenting on in February.

The assets they will be talking about seizing are in fact, people, seizure and enslavement.

The trick they see is in identifying "illegal financial activity" and enforcing it down to the small level with a fine and fee system which nobody will be able to pay off so they get taken into custody and their assets liquidated. It will be done incrementally throughout society, but the case law has been built up for it over the last 25-30 years. I think a lot of current justice system people are not going to want to go along with it, and that's part of the rationale between that whole parallel federal government made up of those state-run fusion centers and "interstate compacts". It is also why the secession deals are false

As far as these "fiscal cliff" tax increases, that's not even counting the Obamacare taxes, and a new enforcement system aimed at punishing those who have cash income that goes unreported, even when that cash income is still below the poverty line.

The poor under these systems are royally screwed unless they become "clients of the system", and then by default, a socialist constituency.
