Holy shite, this is philosophical ignorance. Why shouldn’t a corporation own a house? That doesn’t preclude you from owning one. But we will put you down as anti-freedom.
He's referring to mass quantity, shite for brains.

Corporate fascism would be a better descriptor. Corporations are far more powerful than political interests. Congress was a captured operation once unfettered lobbying became legal.

This is one of the very few issues I trust democrats to deal with over republicans. PE has an especially strong hold on the GOP.

It's the same issue. Only an ignoramus would suggest that corporations should not be able to own homes. It could become an anti-trust issue if two or three owned over 50% of the homes in a region, but we are not anywhere near that.
What damage to you see from this? What is the harm?

The reason all you whiners think it’s harder is because your threshold for what is a necessity is much higher.

Nah, if subsidies and entitlements were taken away the market wouldn’t be as attractive to corporations.
Would they just start selling tents to the homeless poor?

All of the statistics are based on relative wealth. You can take those statistics back to - I don't know - The Byzantine Empire, and find that guys like you have it tougher than their middle class, small as it was. But they had to skin and butcher their food everyday, and if they had light at night it was because they chopped firewood all day.
You have it easy; you are just being judged on a sliding scale that labels lying around on a couch playing video games for six hours as hardship.

The great thing about Atlanta is that Georgia’s property taxes are so much lower than Texas which is the worst in the nation.

Please explain what republicans have done to combat this.
I’m right wing AF and think 90% of damage to this country’s moral fiber is done by Democrat policy and ideology (not individual Democrats) but nobody on the right is going to touch this. If it’s going to be fixed, it’s going to be fixed from the left.
I’m a capitalist, but eventually you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself if capitalism at all cost makes us better or freer.
