More Fun With Eminent Domain

In Florida, the pissing on citizen's property rights continues what happened in New Hampshire. As previously mentioned, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled back in June that local governments could confiscate property from one private citizen and reward it to another private citizen if the land would generate more revenue in the second citizen's hands. (FYI, Corporations are "Legal Citizens" in the United States. Yes, McDonalds is a US Citizen.)

This time around, Riviera Beach is considering confiscating up to two thousand homes and businesses, displacing up to six thousand residents, mostly low income, to build what amounts to a billion-dollar yacht club.

Yes, indeed! There will be hotels, high-end housing, a multilevel boat garage, a 96,000 square foot aquarium, and a manmade lagoon! All that's required is to utterly disposes six thousand people!

This is sick. How can these politicians turn on their voter base? How can they say "Yes, we're elected officials, so let's fuck over our lower-class electorate and build a really big yacht club!"? It defies all honesty and decency. It spits in the face of civil liberty.

I still deny these bastards are of the same species as I. They can't be human.
