True. But it hinges on whether the State is actually providing fair market value.

As mentioned earlier, I'd agree that it hinges more on whether you have a choice of refusing without fear of reprisals. You can't claim to have 'bought' something without genuine consent.

It can. You can’t proclaim to have purchased something without the consent of the second party. I can’t simply place the appropriate amount of money in your mailbox and drive off with your lawnmower, if you’ve not agreed to sell your lawnmower.

Sure Republicans want to help enrich the poor. That's why they deny education, medical care, food aid and demand they burden the tax relief given to the wealthy. You sir are a carnival barker.

This whole tax relief to the wealthy is a bunch of BS. You have no idea how much wealthy people pay. All you hear are the political talking heads spewing their garbage.

Extreme liberals including the socialist who wants to be NYC Mayor talk about wanting to get rid of Millionaires & Billionaires.

Where would our country be without those kind of people. Go back to the turn of the 20th century where would the United States be without people with names like Astor, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Hershey and Henry Ford among others?

The number of Americans they employed, they drove business and industry that changed the country.

Take a look at Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. It's estimated Musk employees around 100,000 American's across all of his companies and Bezos an estimate of 150k plus across his businesses. Over the last 20 years both have not only changed the country but the world.

I hope NYC elects the guy and he follows through on his agenda. That is unless a bunch of New Yorkers move to TN when they flee the city

It’s the current phase to continue the great divide. Just repeat the tax break millionaires and billionaires may receive to create a bad guy.

Back to the useless distinction between theft and extortion in this context.

Name when gov't has ... without stealing.

They take your **** via threats of prison and financial ruin.

Well, it's legal for them to do it.

Yah. That doesn't help with the point at hand.

Who extorts someone and provides compensation for what they get?

What he's "done" is served in the NY State Assembly and he hasn't tried to turn it communist or whatever. This isn't tied to anything he "has done"

Freddy The Beloved NYC Bodega Cat Is Killed By Dogs As Their Female Owner, Pals ‘Cheered’: Activists​


A beloved Manhattan bodega cat was horrifically mauled to death by two pit bulls last week as the dogs’ heartless female owner and pals “watched and cheered,” animal rescuers claimed to The Post.

Tragic adorable tabby Freddy was attacked around 9 p.m. Friday outside Michelle Flowers, where he lived, in Washington Heights, according to volunteer rescuers with Cat Collective NY, who said they looked at surveillance video and spoke with witnesses.

The pit bulls’ owner and pals then smoked, danced and ate food while taking photos and mimicking the grisly scene, the group told The Post.

“Someone deliberately set dogs on a defenseless cat while people watched and cheered,” said Dan Rimada of Bodega Cats of New York — calling the incident pure “evil.”

Freddy the striped shop cat was known to bask in the sun, eagerly receive loving pats from neighbors and “brought smiles to so many,” Cat Collective NY said in an Instagram tribute.

Still, “harm or death to an animal caused by another animal is not a criminal matter,” an NYPD rep has told The Post – a matter that has left owners of mauled pets with no avenues for justice outside of civil court.

A state bill to close the legal loophole, dubbed Penny’s Law after Penny the Chihuahua was mauled by two pit bulls on the Upper West Side in May, remains stalled in committee. A similar bill at the city level is being drafted by Councilwoman Gale Brewer.

If your property would sell today to a private buyer for a $million, how much would the government have to pay you next week to build a heliport there?

If it is a commercial heliport, the government would have to pay me $10 million. Or they could pay me landing royalties. We could eventually come to a deal if they really wanted it. And yeah of course I am pulling that number out of my ass, but the point is that the government will make more money and has vastly deeper pockets. It is a bit of a silly discussion, but suppose no developer is interested in my property on its' own, yet the .gov can bundle multiple other properties and turn them into a money machine. (via taxation of fuel and road use taxes for example). It is actually worth more than it would be as a standalone property. Eminent domain takes advantage of people bigly.
