echos: you said "In a purely capitalistic society, it's ok to kick grandma to the curb to help increase tax revenues and allow for new economic growth. As long as granny gets fair value for her home of course. The community will prosper from new business, and new jobs, etc. etc."
This makes no sense. Eminent Domain has nothing to do with capitalism. The government has granted itself the right to sieze property for "fair" compensation for the "public good" (road, park, etc.). This has been skewed to mean steal the land from somebody so we can boost revenues.
Not entirely sure what you meant, just clarifying it for my own peace of mind!
