Michigan Supreme Court Decision Delivers Win for Man Who Had His House Stolen Over $8 Tax Debt

Uri Rafaeli owed $8.41 (about the cost of a Chipotle burrito) in tax debt to Oakland County.

To get after that pocket change, the government took his house and sold it for $24,500. They kept every penny for themselves. The practice is called home equity theft, and it's the law of the land in 12 states.
