Sowell: Riviera Beach's Eminent Domain Abuse is "Socialism for the Rich"

In this column from TownHall.com, Thomas Sowell opines on the city of Riviera Beach, Florida's use of eminent domain. He has this to say: "The rich have learned to adapt socialist policies to their own benefit. For example, the city of Riviera Beach, Florida, is planning to demolish a working class neighborhood under its power of eminent domain, in order to prepare the way for a marina for yachts, luxury condominiums and an upscale shopping district."

Sowell goes on to dub Riviera Beach's approach "socialism for the rich."
