The 'public' would benefit from my bank account, do you think it should be confiscated?

The economy? What's that?
It is probably going to be much cheaper for the county to stay in their current spot than it would have been for them to find a new spot and move all of their shit over there. You should be happy- this is just one more way the gov't is trying to reign in spending.
Besides, they aren't "taking" the store. They are forcing a renewal of the lease. OMFG!!! The injustice of it all!!!

The lease they could have had was for 5 years. If after 2 years the government leaves and they can find no one to lease the property will the government compensate them for the loss of income? Again what RIGHT does anyone have over your property? If 51% of the people decide the other 49% should be slaves for the public good, it does not make it right.

Of course it is typical government behavior. I hate to burst your bubble, but the government has never played by the same rules as everybody else. They make the rules. Why would we even have a government if it wasn't capable of acting above other organizations(theoretically) for what it saw as the collective good?

No kidding the 'make the rules' and they abuse it too. There is no bubble to burst here, I am well aware of the power of government and its something which should be limited. There was NO critical use of this land by the government but they wanted it. Legally they COULD have claimed ownership, does this make it right? I don't care if its Kings, Premiers, Khans, Presidents, or 'the people'. Tyranny is tyranny.
