As to the title of this thread, this supreme court ruling is horrible. Opens the door for gov to take personal property for the greater good of the community. Stupid.

In CA, we have prop 13, which limits the property tax based on what you paid for the home. The market value of a lot of homes is greater than the purchase price. Mine is more than double. Next thing you know, they are gonna want to take my home & sell it to someone at market value to increase the property taxes & increase greater good of community.

big gun... you hit it... I am on prop 13 and the tax and spenders have been working diligently and from every angle to get me back into the system... this seems like a good endrun for em...

Like they took a page out of the anti gun nuts playbook.. eat away at the rights from every angle.. keep throwing stuff at the wall till something sticks... keep em on the defensive or hope you get somethin passed while no one is looking.
