End Abuse of Eminent Domain & Support Private Property Rights We've long accepted, generally speaking, the idea that the government (the people as a whole) should and can take property with reasonable compensation for the general welfare of the public for such things as necessary roads, schools, and critical infrastructure. Recently, most notably in New London, Connecticut, that idea has been expanded to allow for condemnation of land which is in no way blighted for the purpose of transfer to a PRIVATE owner so that that private owner can develop it in such a way as to make the community more in tax money. In short, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that it was entirely allowable to steal from one taxpayer to give to another who promised to pay more taxes! I thought we fought a revolution over this sort of abuse of power.

Institute for Justice Kelo v. New London Lawsuit Challenging Eminent Domain Abuse in New London, Connecticut

Since the decision several other governments (apparently not of the people) have begun to do the same thing. Some states have moved to prohibit such use of eminent domain. What are you doing to prevent the theft of your property by the government?

Now, what is truly disgusting is that this decision by SCOTUS and the actions by these governments are promoted by LIBERALS. For the little fellow you say? Liar. This is just on demonstration of the liberal belief that there is no such thing as too much government and you are too stupid to manage your own property.  ¶ posted by The Editor 7:15 PM
