In 2010, I posted an article<\/a> about the relationship between private property rights and the wealth of a country. One of the things that has made America prosperous is the private property rights that Americans enjoy. Unfortunately, those rights are under attack, both by people in Congress and people wanting to be in Congress.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article about some recent statements by Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Far-left Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson just told a crowd of mobile-home park residents that the government should be able to take private property when he doesn\u2019t like who owns it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a Labor Day weekend campaign stop Saturday at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village in Wells, Jackson said the state should step in and take over parks owned by out-of-state companies and private equity firms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel strongly that, if needed, the state should be able to come in, to take these places over,\u201d Jackson told residents gathered in a backyard, according to the Portland Press Herald.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

He added that the state should hold the sites until residents can take them over \u201cso you don\u2019t see these private equity (firms) coming in and making a killing on these parks.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not the state’s job to run mobile home parks until the residents can take them over. This may be a place where a truly free market would solve the problem. If the private equity firms are overcharging, all you need is an entrepreneur to open a less expensive park nearby. The private equity firm is not going to make money if everyone moves out. The idea of the government simply taking the land is not constitutional or wise.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Jackson is the progressive logger and former Maine Senate president who supports abolishing ICE, Medicare for All,<\/a> and ending arms sales to Israel. Party insiders coronated him after Platner\u2019s sexual-assault allegations ended that campaign. Mainers never nominated Jackson in a statewide Senate primary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TGP also reported that Jackson\u2019s longtime partner is his second cousin<\/a> and the mother of his two adult sons. His campaign called coverage of the family relationship \u201cshameful and desperate.\u201d It did not deny the facts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the people in Maine vote for this man, they deserve what they get. Unfortunately, the rest of us will have to live with his presence in the Senate if he wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
