Re: disgorgement
Agreed as well. It is congress that makes the laws, it is the court that supposed to decide if the law was applied correctly regardless if it is fair or not. The gov does not want to share any of the fines, taxes, licenses or any other name for that income.
Take for instance the "affordable care act". It would only work if the government was able to fine and collect from anyone that decided not to join. Obviously it is against the constitution to force anyone to pay a private entity just because you exist. So, they called it a tax (payable to the insurance corp) and a fine (to the government) if you did not pay. I am not stating anything about the act as I know folks that have been hurt and helped by it just that a fine is another way to bleed the people. The scum, as in this case should lose everything and work as slaves till they pay back every penny to the PEOPLE that they cheated. We have already paid the government via taxes to create and enforce laws that protect its citizens.
I am not anti government, just anti bureaucracy.
