You're right, it should be free and open so everybody can live like this.

I think if we're going to live in a prison of our own constructs, sitting at red lights at midnight with nobody in sight for miles and sending money to the IRS.

We may as well add one that says rich people cant have more than 2 houses.

Many landlords, if not most, are simply providing housing to people. It is often a primary source of income, and if they have a tenant go delinquent it can seriously affect their ability to provide for their own family. Do you care about that at all? Or do you just hate "the rich" (who are often not really that rich).

You are not entitled to another person's property. If your landlord is shitty, that's one thing. But more often than not, it's shitty tenants fucking up the property and exploiting the system.

Many landlords provide low income earners the opportunity to not just live on the street. Show a little gratitude.

EDIT: This always bares repeating: Hating the rich is not the same thing as caring about the poor. More than likely you are mad at your lot in life and are desperate to blame somebody else; IE landlords.

BUT WHO PROGRAMMED THE PC BROOOOOOO

Anywya, we are heading towards Ayn Rand " Anthem "

PS Landlords are total scum and personal property over 100k should be abolished.

That is absurd, who are you, hitler? Please tell me how to live mein furrrror!!

Who are you to decree how much money somebody wants or needs? What if they have 10 kids to support? What if they live modestly but employ and pay 200 people healthily? You're just jealous of rich people.

"Tax the rich" is just punitive jealousy. The rich already contribute about 70% of all tax revenue. When you increase tax rates on the rich, they just find legal untaxable avenues to invest in and pay fewer total taxes. When you tax them at lower rates, they are more likely to just pay those taxes, and you collect more net tax revenue because they pay an enormous percentage of all taxes.

This is really basic economics.

Abolish private property over 100k in value. If you want to continue extending your reaches you can then instead funnel the excess towards community projects and personal / familial clout so in a few generations it will just be second nature to invest in humanity instead of whatever people are intending to really do with their excess money.... pass it on? seems a little... NEPOTISTIC
