This is a terrific political issue to be seized upon. I hope the
Republicans are first to the punch.

Yeah, especially since they've been SO effective in reforming Social
Security and reining in the scope and cost of government.

Perhaps if the Democrats cooperated we would have reform in place by now.

Homes may be 'taken' for private projects
Justices: Local governments can give OK if it's for public good

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments
may
seize people's homes and businesses - even against their will - for
private
economic development.

It was a decision fraught with huge implications for a country with many
areas, particularly the rapidly growing urban and suburban areas, facing
countervailing pressures of development and property ownership rights.

As a result, cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for
projects
such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax
revenue.

Yep, and it's horrendous. I guess there goes Naples Village by the Ritz
Carlton.

What is Naples Village?

An area of older homes adjacent to the Ritz Carlton.

No, what we would have is a payoff to Bush's wall street contributors.

Today, if you die the day after you retire, your family gets an
insignificant death benefit.

With the Bush plan, your family gets EVERY PENNY YOU CONTRIBUTED to your
private plan.

That's the way SS is SUPPOSED to work. It is not life insurance, it is
retirement for the worker. When a retiree dies just after retiring it
balances out the retiree who collects benefits til he is 100 years old.
That's exactly how it is supposed to work.

Actually that is the way it was supposed to work in the past. Bush is
offering an alternative that offers real value.

It is not life insurance, it is retirement for the worker. When a retiree
dies just after retiring it balances out the retiree who collects benefits
til he is 100 years old. That's exactly how it is supposed to work.

So who says it has to work that way now?

That's quite nice, Jim. Let's see, you, in another thread read
something someone wrote about DECALS, and your addled brain somehow
read that as PLACARDS, yet you have the audacity to call someone else
an idiot....priceless.
But, you're still a hypocrite and a liar, which makes you not credible,
so coming from you, it means nothing.

An area of older homes adjacent to the Ritz Carlton.

The homes immediately adjacent to the Ritz Carlton start at about 5 million.
The ones just down the road a half mile from there are part of a community
called Beach Walk. Those homes sell for half a million and up. The other
two areas around the Ritz are Vanderbilt Beach and Naples Park. Vanderbilt
starts at about one and quarter million. Naples Park runs in the high
$400's and up. Of course, there are condos that run anywhere from a half
millon in Vanderbilt on the bayside, to $15 million for the ones right next
to the Ritz.


But there's no "Naples Village".
