It probably should be there for emergency situations. I am not trying to say I’m an expert. I am just saying that taking property from one and giving it to another for the purpose of collecting more taxes is a terribly wrong thing. We should hate eminent domain even in rare instances when it is necessary for public use. But there is no excuse for it when the point is just more tax dollars or even more jobs.
For me it is a similar feeling to the death penalty. It is necessary sometimes but I still hate it. I am for it when necessary, but I will never celebrate it as a wonderful thing. It is always a sad thing. That’s probably not a perfect comparison because there are times when it is hard to not celebrate the death penalty for a particularly evil criminal. Conversely, it is always hard to celebrate the taking of someone’s property for public use even when necessary.
