Then we moved on to landlords. The left claims that, if landlords were prohibited, they would have to sell their homes, and housing prices would fall. Therefore, eliminate landlords, and everyone can afford a house.
My reply? OK, that’s the first year. What happens next year when no homes are built because prices are too low to make it profitable to build? This is no different than the “tax all billionaires out of existence, give their money away, and we can all be rich.”
If you taxed every billionaire, just confiscated 100% of their wealth over $1 billion, here is the math:
~900 billionaires, who have a combined net worth of about $8.2 trillion. So we take everything over $999 million. That’s about $7.3 trillion we can distribute. Each person in the US would now get $20,000 plus or minus.
Only now all of those companies are gone- Domino Sugar, Tesla, Facebook, Amazon, Meta, WalMart, Nike, M&M Mars, Hershey Co., Redbull, Keurig, ChikFilA, Subway, Tyson Foods, Archer Daniels Midway, thousands of companies. Essentially all of the large and mid cap businesses will be wiped out. All out of business because they needed to be liquidated to pay for the confiscation.
In all, about 60 million people just lost their jobs as billionaires liquidated to settle their tax bills.
Now what do you do next year?
Taxing billionaires, destroying landlords, killing your economic engine is the equivalent to eating all of your egg laying chickens, making flour out of your seed corn. Sure you eat well today, but your tomorrows will be lean and hungry.
Your leftist is a child-like moron with little concept of economics or money. To them, someone with money is someone to be robbed without regard for what disruptions the robbery will actually cause.

Excellent argument BUT, you are using a rational, reasoned argument against people who only know about feelings.

There is zero point in arguing with retards.
Do what is right and works for you, and politely allow them to reap their whirlwind. When they reach the FO in their self induced stupid make it clear they were warned and you have run out of fucks to give. It took an long time to achieve these levels of ignorance, it will take time to have them reversed by the only thing that matters, their lived reality! Not enough pinheads are feeling the pain yet…but they will.

The problem we have is an entire generation screaming for communism. I hold no illusions of being here in 25 years, so it likely won’t be MY problem. Maybe I SHOULD let it go.

The retards and pinheads have us outnumbered and are outbreeding us. It’s gtting to the point where it’s their world and we just live in it. There’s no place left to “go Galt”.

As a finance officer and real estate broker told me a long ago, it’s not the selling price that matters but the down payment that trips most first time buyers up.
It’s what I call the “renters mentality”.
They think like renters (month to month) but want to live like homeowners and those 2 things are not, and never will be, compatible.
If, for example, a person with a renters mentality was given the down payment (by a parent or otherwise), there is a 90% chance that in 1 year they will be in default.
I saw this very thing happen hundreds of times in southwest Florida where I was an architect.

New Man workers (no ownership) utopia? Stale commie crap from the 19th century.
Human nature is why it always fails and as Frank Zappa said people like private property.
