arent there enough real examples of the loss of property rights in the US?
If you think you own your property, which is taxed (so who owns it?), not if some elite bug or animal lives there.
If you want to find out who really owns "your" house do one or both of the following: Miss two month's mortgage payments and/or refuse to pay your property tax. With species protection laws and the right of eminent domain, the notion of private property ownership is a joke.
