Government of the People?

Eminent Domain for profit. The mayor quoting Machiavelli. And a massive complex with a small subsidized housing component, displacing hard-working homeowners. Story here.

What are we to think of this? Is this an American government we recognize? Have we forgotten the principles of governance upon which our country was founded?

.....that the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address.
