What's that old saying? Oh, yeah ...
"I love my country but I fear my government."
You'd think they (the government, in general) would learn. Anybody remember the Kelo case in New London, Connecticut? That was the one that went all the way to the Supreme Court, and none other than Chief Justice Roberts cast the deciding vote that a government (in that case the city) could take property by eminent domain and then turn it over to a private, for-profit developer. The so-called logic behind this was that taking the land for use as something that would generate more tax income made it a taking for public purposes.
I saw an article a few weeks ago on Kelo. Turns out the developer backed out of the deal, so the city of New London spent a lot on money on lawyers, tore down an historic neighborhood, and they now have a bunch of empty land that's generating zero tax revenues.
