Tax landlords

Hello antiwork big fan, but not on my main account out of paranoia. Just want to say I hate landlords. This rant will largely apply to the US (sorry). They are leeches and are destroying the American Dream. What I don't see a lot of is people pushing for a substantial tax on non-owner occupied single family homes. Like if we actually had representation that cared about all classes of people, why not dis-incentivize being a landlord. Also if these non-owner occupied single family homes no longer were a good investment, would that not force corporations to also reintroduce their real estate back into the market or get burned by taxes? We should also increase taxes related to foreign ownership of US realestate. Make it undesirable for international corporations to snatch up as well. Nothing is perfect but to me it seems this would be a step into the right…

Nothing is perfect but to me it seems this would be a step into the right direction until we get things balanced out again. Don't give me the “free market” crap. Its not a free market anymore. The housing market is a captive market. We are but serfs.

I would also welcome regulation that somehow stipulates that the highest earner at a company cannot make a certain percent more than the lowest earner. Might be interesting in terms of the wage gap.
