@BernieSanders
Unlike Trump, I did not grow up in a wealthy family.

My family lived in a rent-controlled building—and that most minimal form of economic security was crucial for our family.

All families should have that. We need a national rent control standard.



I despise this man.

It's easy to propose such things when you don't believe in the concept of private property.

I’m just a simpleton, but if you force a property owner to rent their place for a specific amount decided on by the government, then wouldn’t you just end up discouraging someone from buying a property in the first place? They may want to buy with only the intention of renting it out. But, if there’s a set limit on how much they can charge, then why bother? The people who can’t qualify to buy a property, and must rent, are the ones who’ll suffer the most.

And Bernie was a bum for most of his life. That makes a good case against what he wants to do.

People forget he was kicked out of a commune for being too lazy.

He had to say something outlandish enough to get people to start talking about him instead of Beto.

Well, he succeeded, as far as I am concerned.
