DESCRIPTION:
And there is nothing you can do about it—not yet.Real estate developer and property rights expert Don Corace offers the first in-depth look at eminent domain abuse and other government regulations that are strangling the rights of property owners across America. It is the one book that every property owner in America has to read.. After years of hard work and saving, you finally own a home. Corace provides the hard facts about individual rights and offers invaluable advice for those whose property may be in danger. If government officials decide they want your property, they can take it—for a wide variety of shady reasons that go far beyond the usual definition of "public purposes." The courts have allowed these injustices to persist. Government Pirates is filled with shocking stories of corrupt politicians, activist judges, entrenched bureaucrats, greedy developers, NIMBY (Not-in-My-Backyard) activists, and environmental extremists who conspire to seize property and extort money and land in return for permits. But don't get too comfortable
Where do you stand on environmental issues? I consider myself a conservationist, not an environmentalist. They represent the fruits of our labors and a family’s financial security. In my teens, I worked as a laborer, carpenter’s apprentice, surveyor by day and attended city council meetings with him at night. At the time I was also embroiled in an ugly controversy over a bald eagle whose nest was located on some property we owned. After years of hard work and saving, you finally own a home. What are your objectives for the book? Although many property rights organizations throughout the country are doing an excellent job in fighting property rights abuse, we need to take it up another notch and use the media as a weapon. What motivated you to write the book? I picked up my morning newspaper on June 24, 2005, and read that the Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 in the Kelo case. I knew then that I had to write the book. Ce
"Wake Up to the Loss of Your Rights!" according to P. Gephart. I bought this book because a local city council is overstepping its bounds and telling private property owners what can and cannot be done on their property, but there are so many other things that intrusive government is attempting that exceeds the limits our Framers put in place in the Constitution. You ought to read this book to see what some of them are and how we can all fight back against the "power that be". The Govt can take your property for private interests Did you know that the government can take your property if a private interest wants it? Yes and it was confirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. If you own a home and a private developer tells the local govt that it needs your property for a project the govt can seize your property for the private developer. Read this book and see how people are fighting back. It's a shame that this is happening in the good ole USA.. "Will turn your stomach" according to S. C. Travis. This book confirms our country is headed into socialism. It will make you sick hearing about our corrupt government.
A successful real estate developer and businessman for more than twenty-five years, Don Corace has appeared on Hannity & Colmes, The Neal Boortz Show, and many other media venues and has testified before Congress on property rights issues. He is the author of the novel Offshore, and he lives in Florida with his wife.
