the government has the responsibility and the right to preserve for the future what is valuable in the present.

If you believe this you don't believe in the Constitution at all. This statement is directly from the socialists at the United Nations, who under the aegis of Gro Harlem Brundtland created sustainable development for the sole purpose of removing private property from the hands of the individual and giving it to the government and their anointed friends. If you believe this statement then you believe in communism. By "preserving for the future what is valuable in the present" you are stealing from today,and the government has no right to do this.

If you read the Constitution, you will see that the government has no right to interfere with private property nor to own property other than what is necessary for the function of government and for national defense.
