Journal Blitzenn's Journal: Supreme Court Eminent Domain decision

As I am sure you have heard, the Supreme Court has decided that the power of Eminent Domain is a tool available to City planners and economic depression is a reasonable cause to wield it. This all just smacks to me of what happen during the second world war, or better said what caused it. Instead of physical domination and military occupation of our own country, we are using economics instead. The outcome however is strikingly similar. The Nazi party at the time claimed that it was the Jews that were causing the problems with the country and true Germans not prospering like they were destined to. Now we use the excuse of economics to do the same thing. Instead of Jews we have targeted the poor instead. The rich don't like to look at how the poor have to live. They take up valuable land that could be used better by 'real' Americans to prosper. So we will force them out of their homes and remove the last security these people have, more than likely plunging most into the final throw of complete failure. These are the poor, the people who struggle to pay bills because they don't earn enough to cover them. The ones who don't have access to the credit needed to start somewhere else. People who's homes have little equity to begin with and won't be able to take the fair value cash, minus the bank note and start over. It makes me sick to my stomach to see that so many Americans actually can justify this to themselves. Scary
