Then his car was leined and sold for unpaid taxes. Imagine that: the government seized his car because of a telephone tax that was not paid to AT&T to pass to the government. AT&T did not lein the car, the government did. It wanted to make an example of this young man. Our government has been getting more and more arrogant. Is there a chance for change for the better anytime soon? My belief is no. I googled this and found that this excise tax is being protested even today Google "excise tax telephone protest vietnam denver" and good stuff comes up. Unfortunately I could not find information about the Vietnam seizure. Comment to Al:

Therefore, property owners are renters, that pay the government rent to be on the land we supposably own. So of course the government passes a law of eminent domain, it is their land and you are just permanent renter until you don't pay taxes or they use eminent domain.
