Welcome to the world of "cerfdom"

Have you considered what the recent decision by the US Supreme court concerning the rights of eminent domain for local governments? What could they have been thinking? Governments at all levels have been waiting with baited breath for the decision so they could take all sorts of property from individuals and small neighborhoods for the "public good" such as businesses or hotels or other such private corporation use as opposed to a small home that doesn't bring in anywhere near the same level of tax revenue. This is the crux of the matter, tax revenues. They can't seem to think in terms of not spending so much, instead they think in terms of how can we get more revenue. And thinking that ordinary people "can't see the bigger picture" and just how much of an "improvement" that the local government can get from their property just fries me! Since when has government at any level had more sense and capability to know what and how to do with our resources? I hope that ordinary people can get together to let the "elites" know they have gone too far. We are supposed to be people who run the governments and it is turning into governments who are running us... Kind of like the middle ages when only the nobles owned property and the people living on it just paid for the priveledge...
