Read the entire article. It isn’t that simple. The governments are barely following the law and it is very clear their goal is to seize and sell as much property as possible.

In most places (for the time being anyway) when property is seized and auctioned for back taxes, the property owner is given the excess after taxes and costs. The fact that the governments in Michigan are allowed to keep ALL the revenue is essentially proof that this is nothing more than legalized theft. Taxes are an excuse to steal property.

Ann the wonderful world of voting “D”! Your livelihood is worthless to them. Until we rise up and make their lives less than worthless, tyranny will never end!

“The lawsuit is claiming the Michigan law is unconstitutional.

Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution states, “private property shall not be taken for public use, without just compensation.”

Apparently this could become a big case. The state and local governments in Michigan stand to lose a combined $2 billion dollars if the courts strike down this law.”

That money ought to come out of the hides of the gummint slimeballs who stole the guy’s house !

Nice to hold the whip hand, isn't it?

In plainer terms, it's nice to have armed agents who will kill anyone who gets in their way and suffer no consequences whatsoever.

He would have been notified repeatedly before the House went to sheriff sale... I’m having a hard time believing this article at face value
