Five years ago, I had finally reached the end of my long legal journey to getting my house back. I owned a vacation house up north and sold it. The people buying it stopped paying for it so I went through the process. I paid their back taxes to bring things up to date, I paid lawyers, and on the 10th of March 2020, I stepped before a judge who looked at the evidence and ordered them evicted, scheduling it for the 20th of March 2020. The long legal journey was over.

Then the government lockdowns began and the State of Minnesota decided that evicting people for not paying their bills was not allowed. Many months went by before the State decided they would lot SOME evictions go through. Mine was one, so I finally got them evicted in reality towards the end of the year. After they generated thousands more in utility bills and thousands more in damage to the house. The losses they caused me on that house, aided and abetted by the State of Minnesota, added up to five digits of damage, aimed directly at my pocket book.

This is but ONE of the ways in which the various governments in America have chosen to pursue policies that damaged me personally financially up to five digits in the two decades. I’m in the lower middle class. My income is in the five digits, and not the upper range of that. So when the government pursues policies that specifically damage me that much, it is a very real amount of money. An individual robber taking that amount of money from me would be charged with a felony. But since it was done with the support of the government, or by the government directly, I have no recourse.

That is one reason why I want government officials who have abused the people fired. Investigated. Put on trial. Sent to prison if convicted of the crime. Government officials who use their position to abuse the people and steal from us should go to prison for it. As a lesson to others if nothing else. So they stop doing this. If we don’t demand this, they will continue to do it.
