The Fifth Amendment might as well say this today.  Have you seen the level of "just compensation" people are given for their property?  Every few months, there will be a story about how a state government has screwed an elderly woman or a black family, who happen to live in an area where property values have jumped, simply because the state wants a developer to build condos and bring in more tax revenue.  It happens all the time, and it's nothing short of organized crime.  The Florida government is doing it to blacks in Riviera Beach right now.

The amendment should state that private property cannot be taken without the owner's agreement.  Period.
