If enough voters voted to confiscate his property would you be in favor of allowing that?
You mean like imminent domain? Isn't that still alive and well?

Voting is one of the inherit benefits, and downfalls of democracy. On the one hand, everyone gets a say. On the other, individual(s) on the losing vote don't get their way - kinda hard to appease both camps. Last I checked, America (for the most part) has agreed to a variety of "majority vote" systems.
The U.S. is not democratic, it is a republic.
