Why don't I just become a billionaire too while I'm at it? Oh right, because I can't just opt into having the money to be part of the ownership class.

Exactly and where did the money come from? They earned it until they had enough to invest in a house.

Right, because rich people "earned" their money. Good one.

Yes, actually. Where do you think their money came from? (Alternatively their relatives may have earned it, that shouldnt make a difference for you though).

Exploitation of the working class, mostly.

"if you can't fix the problem, just become part of it!" Great advice mate 😂

How dare they provide so much value to you that you feel the need to give them a good amount of your money.

What part is the "problem" exactly?

Exactly, as a person of land myself this crowd doesn't appreciate the amount of effort I put into making the houses I own livable for you profit streams. There are costs associated, which means I'm the one truly being exploited here, not the people paying me to live in my extra home.
