The Nation's Pulse

The Powerful vs. The People

Why is eminent domain abuse such a non-issue on the campaign trail?

(Page 2 of 2)

In contrast, those who lose their homes to their federal, state, or local governments via eminent domain for private purposes are victims in the truest sense of the word. These people have done nothing wrong other than live on plots of land that more politically connected parties, and the politicians they're connected to, have decided the owners are no longer worthy of keeping.

p>And now, to add insult to injury, the people running for President are saying nothing about this travesty, other than that someday soon, these owners must suffer the added indignity of having to pay to bail out br> those who have lost homes through their own doing by buying a house they now can't afford. /p>

This is wrong, and the entire country knows it. Except, it seems, for the people trying to convince us to let them run the place.
