Forfeiture for flagrant and willful removal of beer without taxpayment

Sec. 5673 of the US Tax Code:
For flagrant and willful removal of taxable beer for consumption or sale, with intent to defraud the United States of the tax thereon, all the right, title, and interest of each person who knowingly has suffered or permitted such removal, or has connived at the same, in the lands and buildings constituting the brewery shall be forfeited by a proceeding in rem in the District Court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof.
I barely understand what they are saying here, and it's just one little part of the US Tax Code.

This is why the current tax system needs to be changed.

Maybe we should follow the lead of Slovakia?
