Tax Foundation: Eminent Domain Not Worth Its Salt

Thousands of years ago salt was a valuable commodity. Empires were built on salt.

Today, the Tax Foundation uses a George Mason University Eminent Domain Paper to empirically state that eminent domain is not worth it. The Tax Foundation highlights that eminent domain has a negative relationship with economic revenue growth. “The gamble against private property rights rarely pays off.”  

Hear that sound? It’s the printers of private property rights advocates printing this paper in bulk for legislators. [Tax Foundation]
