There's a whole lot of ignorance to be kind but most likely out-right stupidity all over this whole thread but this here might be the stupidest.

That is not at ALL how this was supposed to work. You should get YOUR money back PLUS interest and earnings.

If you are a contributing citizen then the Government takes your money or imprisons you. The Government is supposed to give your money back to you regardless of your situation. Otherwise it's outright theft.
