I marked this one because it has fewer comments.

Oops. I didn't think the first one went through because of some cloudflare fuckup.

I figured something like that. I guess by the time you found out it was too late to delete. Funny how two posts right next to each other are treated as if the other doesn't exist. LOL

By marking it, I was hoping people would go to the one that was already doing better rather than this one or that you might come back and delete it.

Is it REALLY the first time in "recorded history" that a government has taken more from its citizens than the citizens take from each other?

No, it's the first time the police seized more. Governments have been seizing more property through taxes, fees, etc. since the beginning of government.

Not sure why you were down voted.

I see a technical aspect in which you're not correct but on the same front neither is the title.

"For the first time in Recorded History"

Maybe in US history but I'm sure under Nero there was plenty of government theft in the form of seizures. I don't buy the whole "In recorded history" bit.
