Eminent Domain vs. Property Rights
Eminent domain is no longer relevant. In the beginning stages of the development of the country, eminent domain was important because road systems and things like this needed to link America together. America is very developed now and eminent domain should not have precedence over property rights. The potiential for abuse of eminent domain is huge and the American government has a history of it. Therefore, eminent domain should not ever be enforced.
yeah... i don't even like talking about eminent domain now that i have learned about it. the government is abusing their powers and its gross. eminent domain should be used in order to build a very successful road, or school, or library, benefiting the people. but a car dealership for example would not be a good use of eminent domain.
ReplyDeleteWord Macke, when i hear eminent domain use now to potentially increase tax revenue, it makes me want to punch that respective mayor in the throat. What ever happened to the right to pursuit of happiness? Why should a large corporation take priority over a small business?
