    Gee it’s a wonder more people do not voluntarily give up most of their income if they get better housing on a lower income

    In my next life, I’m going to drop out of high school, party my ass off, never hold a steady job, and then live rent-free courtesy of the government in a luxury apartment. And I’ll be pissing off my neighbors in the apartment complex who went to grad school and earn eight times what I make because all of us ended up living in the same place.

    Income redistribution is an asinine idea.

    Having faced financial dire straits more than once, albeit for different reasons, I, unlike the Moscow Agent / Mad ******* Governing America, can certainly relate and sympathize. I would be royally POed right now if that bloviated con man were causing me to face eviction.

    Not when income includes capital gains and other non-wage income that is far in excess of typical earnings.

    Wow - that's a mighty sweeping statement. I sincerely hope that you never find yourself on hard times.

    Oh. OK. Say that about blacks, and Hispanics too????? God made them poor and they should accept their disgrace.

    I actually am content with my lot in life. I live well even on my limited income. Being poor isn't something you seem to know anything about. Hmmmmmmm.

    Try it. You will not likely survive it.

    it fulfills their agenda to get the masses totally dependent upon their uncle sam ( or samantha if you will)... once on it, they will always vote blue... its bribery and they should be jailed for it, imo

    I made a life choice, to have a congenital heart defect. So, I went without a dime, for seven years. I realize I am lucky you let me live at all.

    But you seem to be suggesting that low income people have better housing

    What is TELLING, is that they accuse LIBS, of envy, and coveting, and in REALITY, they covet the last morsel the poor child eats. That portion should be THEIRS.

    Serves you right for not depending on the govt as a source of your dignity. What do you think this is, a meritocracy?

    But Trump is different.

    When he games the system, he does so not merely as a white man, but as a white man of European origin; he's not Mexican or some such.

    So when HE lies, cheats and steals, it's okay.

    Because I’m paying their rent, either through my taxes or by paying higher rent on my apartment to subsidize them.

    Society has chosen to equalize the homes where we live. Next up is the cars that we drive.

    No. In America, people earning $20,000 per year (high school dropouts) can live via government subsidies in the same place that people who earn $150,000 per year. What a country!

    But then what incentive is there to work hard and obtain an education when all of us end up the same in the end?

    You should be given enough to survive with dignity.

    I don’t know if tax payers should pay for a luxury condo for you and a matching Mercedes Benz. That goes too far.

    Have you heard about Blackstone Financial yet?? They have been buying 100 Mil in properties A WEEK in cities since 2012.. WITH CASH!!!

    They own a lot of the houses in cities now.. Prices are going up while sales go down.. So the biz guys are riggin the market and folks started wondering WTF

    They say its because they want to price out perceived undesireable constituents for their elite paradise. I think it is because they know stocks will be worthless again... soon.. Blackstone Financial has been preparing for it for 6 years

    Found this...

    Maybe if you learned to mind your own business, you'd be happier. :)
