Other people's debts

The IRS has a new policy: Seizing people's imcome tax refunds to pay other people's debts.

From the Washington Post:

Across the nation, hundreds of thousands of taxpayers who are expecting refunds this month are instead getting letters like the one Grice got, informing them that because of a debt they never knew about — often a debt incurred by their parents — the government has confiscated their check.

We edge closer and closer to direct confiscation of American citizen assets to satisfy a government that knows it needs new revenue streams to buy time for its ways of excessive spending and debt.
