This has nothing to do with Obamacare or Obama himself. Just the federal government's awful civil asset forfeiture laws.

Quote:Can the government use civil forfeiture to take your money when you have done nothing wrong—and then pocket the proceeds? The IRS thinks so.

For over 30 years, Terry Dehko has successfully run a grocery store in Fraser, Mich., with his daughter Sandy. In January 2013, without warning, the federal government used civil forfeiture to seize all of the money from the Dehkos’ store bank account (more than $35,000) even though they’ve done absolutely nothing wrong. Their American Dream is now a nightmare.

Federal civil forfeiture law features an appalling lack of due process: It empowers the government to seize private property from Americans without ever charging, let alone convicting, them of a crime.

Perversely, the government then pockets the proceeds while providing no prompt way to get a court to review the seizure.

Watch the short video that explains the story a bit better.

And they thought we eliminated slavery and serfdom.

So their store's insurance policy covers "up to" 10K in cash at the store... So they deposit less than that and the government takes their money...

And of course because it's civil forfeiture they store owners have to prove they are perfect citizens even if they are not accused of a crime..
