All You Guys Think Our (Big) Government Is Intrusive THINK Again...

This is actually happening all the time in China:

I guess instead of using imminent domain they just break down your door and tell you to move out...

Notice the bastards WEREN'T sent by the government.

"It has turned Shen into a minor folk hero in China, where many villagers have been forced out of their homes by da shou ("beating hands" in Chinese) who work for real estate developers."

They were privately owned thugs, employed by capitalists.

Not defending Chinas Communist government by any means.....I'm just sayin'
that anyone who finds the machinery of unfettered capitalism to be fair and just is a fool.

A damn fool.

Regards,
Dave

Well the government does let it happen....and the real estate developers must have the ok of the Communist party..remember it is a command economy still....

I know you are not defending the Commies...oh btw you left your red star green cap after the meeting

perhaps the most damaging is the last paragraph were the owner of the home gets reimbursed but must use it for legal fees to help is son...

The government lets it happen, so it's okay for a greedy asshole to do it?

Great point Mr. Gekko.

Hey, if it ain't illegal it must be morally OK, right?

Maybe that is why they are buying up our real estate, it sure is helping us out greatly.
