Again: when the Nazis "acquired" Jewish property within their borders: stealing or not?
Is your generic/common argument any better?
Depends on what the property was and/or used for? The laws as well. There are huge, inhumane things that go on, but does that mean they are crimes/against the law of that specific government? BTW, I'm not arguing for what they did; what Nazis did was down right awful from an ethical standpoint.
Not saying it should be okay. You can fight back if you want in different ways. AS mentioned, lower your taxable assets, etc. if you don't like it
This is the type of shit lawyers argue about all the time; it's what they get paid to do. Argue for or against words, interpretation, and definition. You can argue both ways with ease. Devil's advocate is a fun game.
