Eminent domain: the issue is taking FOR PUBLIC PURPOSE.
The issue with Trump is using eminent domain for PRIVATE GAIN.

Except that the Keystone pipeline is being built by a private company.
Yet you’re for the Keystone pipeline right?

The argument for allowing ‘private gain’ by invoking eminent domain in such a case is that it ultimately will result in increased tax revenue. That is why government tends to support it.
Personally, I think that the policy is a loser and that this stupid attempt to take that old lady's house in order to be able to build a parking lot is among the stupidest notions ever.
