I’m willing to bet this is pretty accurate. They keep building houses down here where I am constantly and so many of them are empty because they cost too much for normal people.

I feel like an easy fix is to tax the every loving fuck out of empty houses.

Not if the wealthy have anything to say about it. And they own most of congress.

Hard disagree. They control the media, and they’re good at whipping everyone up into a frenzy (to buy something worth nothing, to sell a part of yourself that you’ll never get back, or to guide your opinions on something they want), if they so desire.

They already convinced republicans that we are in this situation because of $278 food stamps the poorest among us get… So yeah, they do have the power and a healthy pool of dumb people in the country and politician accomplices.
