As with most such violations of our rights, eminent domain and takings issues crop up in a multitude of disguises. Zoning and building codes tell you where and how you can build. They also keep out competitors, enshrine outdated techniques and materials, and increase the costs of building and owning your own home or business. Indeed, for all of us, needless regulations, licenses, and permits diminish in a myriad of ways what we can or cannot do with our property. In a broader view, taxation itself is a taking .
Money is property, and the Fifth Amendment makes no distinction among kinds of property.
That is one can of worms, of course, not even most property rights advocates are willing to open. The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave. What they really take from you, though, is your freedom.
