When I first read this story, I thought it must be a joke right? WRONG.
A lot of young people have made millions off trading bitcoin & other alt currencies, making the government very angry.
So if a police officer thinks you have no income or way to prove one and are wearing that 1800 euro watch and coat, the police now have the power to seize it from you on the street. No judge - no jury, just the decision based on observation from a state tax man called a policeman.
How they decide if you deserve that coat or watch is purely down to the officers discretion - what could possibly go wrong here eh!
You can do a search via your preferred internet search engine or simply have a look here
How incredible that the new normal is going to be taking the clothes off the back of young people, where they stand in the street. Where do you draw the line? Armani jeans son? "get em off" Calvin Klein boxers? "We will take them also" shoes? I mean what the heck is going on here. They will also be taking expensive cars off them, houses and anything else they want. I guess the government is broke. Not in monetary terms, in ethical morals terms!
If I was one of these youngsters, I would be packing my bags, getting in my Lamborghini and heading anywhere outside of the Netherlands. Take that new found wealth and spend it somewhere that people actually want you to thrive and succeed. I moved to Poland due to my own country the United Kingdom of rain and depression taxing me into the ground.
Now Poland gets my money. The policies of these greedy madmen are so short sighted, it is beyond incompetent. I just find it hard to believe people still vote for these terrorists in suits (politicians).
You can watch it also here on one of the few tv shows I find worth watching still for news, the Keiser report.
If this continues like this, something is going to snap & a class war seems unavoidable, if you start taking the clothes off the back of young people in the street.
Have a fantastic day, in these very weird times. Peace love and respect.
