Last Friday the Supreme Court approved the government's ability to seize your home or business for the development of the property and the resultant profits to go to public coffers in the name of "public use". My husband and I agree THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! According to the ruling, if your property is valuable enough then the government can take it because the proceeds of the "value" will go to the public coffers, benefiting the public and thus satisfy the 5th Amendment clause. HOGWASH!!! Let's not forget that center to the (can I say the "c" word?) communist philosophy to take control of a people, or their country, is to deny the ownership of private property. The courts have just taken us a giant step toward that end.
