Should compare the wealth of billionaires to the wealth of the middle and lower class. The point still holds true but people can't accuse you of comparing apples to oranges.

Looks like something that needs to be burned with fire

The alternative to individual action is collective action. Not that I'm expressing a personal opinion either way...

Lesser known fact: the German economy isn't doing so hot right now either

We are tumbling backwards in time to our origins, origins that never left us, but origins that were masked by empty promises of democracy, justice and human rights.

Well said. The current world order is rife with contradiction and the ruling class does not feel the need to hide behind their own propaganda any longer.

Ah, I see. The economic argument falls apart by its own terms. Fair point.

I agree with your point but we should avoid equivocating our words. The capitalists sees housing as a financial investment while we see it as an investment in the well being of the person/community. Housing may give a "return" on the productivity of the workforce, but we should house people regardless of financial incentive.

 
 
 

98% of Americans believe the top lines and thats why the ruling class goes through the trouble of lying to us.
