Strike "private" and "real person". "Property shall not be taken for the purpose of financial gain by another person or government." maybe... While I don't agree with the SCOTUS decision that gave corporations the same "rights" as real persons, I wouldn't want them to be able to take my small incorporated business either. Striking "private" would prevent the feds from taking state property. Striking "involuntary" just makes the ammendment less restrictive. Below is a link to the plaintiff in this suit. They are a "non- profit" organization. From their website: "The New London Development Corporation (NLDC) is committed to creating public-private partnerships that act as an engine for economic development..." Whatever the hell that means. I think that bribes and kickbacks could be classified as a "public-private partnership". Fat chance on the ammendment, though. Congress has become the legislative branch of the Fortune 500. They will only pass legislation that is good for the big corporations. When they retire they can get a seat on the board of directors!
