When Rafael goes back to being a Senator, all you will do is bitch in here, especially if Trump does well as president.
You establishment types have no room to call anyone a statist, much less odious. As usual, the words you use on others merely project your traits.
“Please oh please, someone declare my house falls for some type of eminent domain, and offer me SEVEN times what my house is worth, like that lady in NY. I have zero sentimental attachment to bricks, mortar, wood, copper, roof shingles, etc used to build my house.’
Li Kai-Shing (Hong Kong’s Trump only a lot more evil) bought our flat in 2007. HK has a lot less strict laws than the US. Our legal adviser said that yes we would eventually have to sell. The issue was how much money could we wring out Cheung-Kong Development before they went to the trouble taking us to imminent domain. We were TOLD to say “This is our home.” “Our kids grew up here!” “It isn’t about the money” (Even though it was about the money) We ended up with with a choice of a flat in the new building and about twice what we paid for the old one or about four times what we paid. We took the cash and moved back to Senior Staff Quarters at HKU.
The moral of this story? When people tell you it isn’t about the money it almost always is. That stupid old woman in New Jersey was a fool.
Do you own real estate?
I have been told that they are very fair and balanced, and that I would be insane to think there is bias.
Kelo was an abomimation of a leftist SCOTUS Justice swinging the vote and writing the decision as I remember. But Eminent Domain is Constitutional and when truly necessary and owner is fairly compensated, property is forfeited justly.
What if you don't pay them?
Some of us weren’t around during WWII. What were the circumstances to which you refer?
Of course you do know that Cruz supports eminent domain also.
You are the freaking clown dipshit. Real estate taxes and theft are two different issues that you idiots conflate rather than just admit you are statist pukes who are good with state actors condemning private property to benefit private actors.
Now, about Trump and his vote-getting missteps that you're trying to navigate away from.
Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate
Poll: Ethanol not a huge issue for Iowans [dead last in list of 10 issues]
Not true.
I didn’t change my mind about Keystone.
I have a large natural gas pipeline on the edge of my property. Eminent domain was not used to get an easement for access/use. The original property owner was paid to secure the easement without government force.
Eminent domain should not be used to take private property from owners for private projects unless the project is considered an issue of national security and involves a court review.
I think the deal is if you trash Trump and state in a declarative manor that you will not vote under any circumstance for Trump, even if he gets the nomination, will get you the zot.
I do pay them. And your analogy is retarded. As are you tough guy. When did you stop paying your taxes again hero?
The only way to actually own your real estate is to patent the land once you get the “deed” to the property.
Some states are easier than others.
Back east, for instance, best of luck to you. Out here, where there is (or used to be mining) it is easier.
I agree. My comment is based on recent activity, it might not be a good idea to tangle with some of "FR's power brokers.
Well I am not voting for Trump under any circumstances so you can hike your pants up your ass and March down to the principal’s office with your hall monitor notebook.
If you say those things on a thread when Jim Rob is also present, he gives a slight warning. Take another step after that....
I watched TBBT go that way.
Have you ever heard the term "life, liberty, and property"?
The founding principles of America are "loser issues" to you?
Okay.
He was telling you what happened, d-bag.
