More On The Death Of The Fifth Amendment

Posted By: J.J. Jackson* on June 26, 2005

Boy oh boy do some of the emails from readers I am getting about how I don’t know what I am talking about just don’t get it themselves! I know for some of you, it is hard to understand how low income persons are really the ones most affected by this ruling by the Supreme Court. For example Tom writes:

Stop with your lies about how it is really low income blacks that are going to be most at risk with this ruling! I find your attempt at lies appalling! Who is really going to get affected is you and your wealthy white land owners that have been screwing the little guy for all these years!

I take Tom’s email because it is so typical.

First of all, I never mentioned “blacks” in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Higher Taxes. I do however admit to mentioning the “little guy”. And for those of you STILL insistent on saying that these are not the folks targeted, I turn your attention to this exchange during the hearing between Justice Scalia and the attorney for New London (who wants to take the private property of others for private use):

Justice Scalia: Let me qualify it. You can take from A to give to B if B pays more taxes?

Wesley W. Horton: If it’s a significant amount. Obviously, there is a cost ?

Justice Scalia: I’ll accept that. You can take from A and give to B if B pays significantly more taxes.

Wesley W. Horton: With that ?

Justice Scalia: You accept that as a proposition?

Wesley W. Horton: I do, Your Honor.

There, you see that all you nay-sayers that STILL want to try and defend these liberals as being out for the “little guy”? Did you catch Mr. Horton admitting, on the record, that this is specifically for the purpose of taking you modest home to build higher rent structures?

So please, enough with the emails defending the decision. Wake up and realize who your enemies really are.
