[ This isn’t all to you. I’m posting it to ‘all’ rather than address every question or comment on this thread. ]

I appreciate your comments on this, and I realize none of us see eye to eye on this issues. There are two groups of thought, and they aren’t switching > IMO.

These three posts (links at bottom of post) pretty much lay out my reasons for supporting private uses of eminent domain. They will make sense for some, and no sense to others.

We are Capitalists. We want the creation of jobs and the private sector to flourish. Part of that is the creation of massive businesses where to complete the project, eminent domain becomes necessary. When it does, all of a sudden the venture Capitalist begins to be seen as a Democrat Underground would view any Capitalist.

Folks, either we believe in Capitalism and the creation of jobs, or we don’t. You can’t develop a large entity like a hotel or other projects without it. Of course that’s unless you want to go 50 miles from the city center and purchase a farm to build your hotel on, which nobody will use.

Trump is not evil for utilizing eminent domain. Yes he benefits. I thought that was what we believed in, a venture capitalist creating massive businesses for the betterment of society.

If we don’t believe in this, we don’t belong here.

Over and over again, I see the term Crony Capitalist used on this forum to bludgeon Capitalists as if taking tax breaks and special permits makes one evil.

Every single one of us uses personal exemptions and or write-offs on our income tax returns. Does that make us Crony Citizens? Evidently so. If you go to the city and get a special zoning permit to do something, does that make you a Crony Citizen?

For heaven sake, leave the Democrat Underground talk to them.

Here are three comments written last night when I was tired. They aren’t the best responses, but they do give enough of a an idea of the issues I am addressing, for them to suffice. Those that want to understand will. Those that don’t won’t.
