This is what your government is all about. Your government doesn't represent you, it represents special interests, the high rollers, the wealthy, the powerful and the influential. The government owns everything, and can take what they want. We're all just mere stewards of everything in our possession, the government is the owner.
The Government Took Their Homes All That s Left is a Field
Dreams Demolished: 10 Years After the Government Took Their Homes, All That’s Left Is an Empty Field
..................
Kelo and her fellow plaintiffs—Thelma Brelesky, Pasquale Cristofaro, Wilhelmina and Charles Dery, James and Laura Guretsky, Richard Beyer and Bill von Winkle—fought the city of New London to keep their homes. The city wanted to transfer the property to a private nonprofit organization, which would facilitate its development.
Their fight went all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which ruled against the property owners on June 23, 2005.
Though Kelo and her neighbors lost, the case became one of the most contested in the high court’s history, and it sparked reform in the vast majority of the states.
But the land where their homes once stood remains vacant, now a decade later.

Heartbreaking and disgusting. Folks, this is what we've allowed to happen in America. We've surrendered, been defeated, and now we're servants of the master, the U.S. Government.
