Nationalization of Land

[Texashotdog]

How about a Constitutional Admendment to Nationalize all land belonging to none US Citizens. Pay them a fair appraised price then convert land back to the government.<br /><br />Then the government could auction the property off to citizens for use by citizens.<br /><br />I know it will never happen but would not that be fun. Imagine America owned by Americans.

I can't wait to see the price on the honda, toyota and nissan plants in this country. A nationalistic Eminent domain of sorts. Big government redistribution.

Sounds good Tex ,in the long run I believe America would come out with the short end of that stick.

Re: Nationalization of Land

You would reduce the value of properties already owned by citizens by automatically cutting out a good share of potential purchasers.<br /><br />That would cut local tax values and revenues, and would mean either cuts in services, or increase in other taxes.<br /><br />We are in a global economy. No matter how much you may want to, you simply can't wish it away.

Re: Nationalization of Land

I have to agree with rwise. When you take into consideration the tax aspect and the zoning regs you really don't have much control over your own land.

Not even mentioning imminent domain, if a rich developer decides to build a stadium or mall on your land.
