Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain gives the government the power to seize private property in the name of public use. These public uses include hospitals and schools, but the government has been abusing this privilege. Based off of ones agenda this right has been interpreted in different ways. The government has torn down neighborhoods in order to build something that would bring in more tax dollars. This helps the economy which helps the public, but was this intended when the law was written? Many may say this type of use helps the public by stimulating the economy, but what would you say when your property was a target? The house you have grown up in and created memories in. I believe the way eminent domain is being used is ridiculous and shows how out of control our federal government really is.
