Our Government has been taking advantage of American Citizens using emminent domain to take posession of their land simply because the land is rich in minerals that would bring in a lot of profit for them. NOT RIGHT!
A perfect example is what recently happened in North Carolina. An extremely strong hurricane rips through. Killing a lot of the residents and destroying their homes. They say the land is rich in crystal and lithium. This storm is said to be rare. Happening only once in 500 years or more. Ignoring that HAARP is fully capable of generating a storm of this magnitude. Let’s set that aside and simply ask this question. Should our government be allowed to tell residents who lost their homes that they cannot rebuild because the Government is claiming eminent domain? They paid home owners $2500 for their properties! Yes, you read that right! Twenty five hundred dollars! Why? Because they want the lithium for batteries and the crystal for computer chips!
I feel that if greed is the only motivation for eminent domain, that is not a good enough reason to take a person’s property.
The only reason for eminent domain should be if not allowing it causes a national emergency of some kind, and even then it should be voted on by the people of the states that are affected by it.
