Eminent Domain and Land Rights - Being Abused by Government?
Someone suggested that we start a discussion about land rights, as government has recently begun to use eminent domain to benefit not only the public interest, but to benefit developers and individuals. :crying:
I've seen too many stories on the news where people are losing their homes and businesses, not for the completion of a new highway or public service, but for the construction of private developments or projects.
If we cannot trust the government to protect our rights to own property, where do we stand as a free country?
Lets see how everyone feels about the subject. . .
