Ding ding ding!
But think of the corporations! How will they continue to bleed the people dry with rent and artificially expensive homes??
Corporations are people too!
We're gonna need a bigger jail.
Conservatives would never, ever let that happen. Conservatives help billionaires specifically because it hurts normal people.
Just tax any home other than your primary residence at 100% of the assessed fair market value per year. Hell, make it 100000%. This includes apartments, condos, townhomes, mobile homes. It would solve a lot of problems real quick. Some “real estate moguls” might have to find a real job for once in their life but it will be good for them. I hear they like to hustle.
The Treasury Department will soon PROPOSE a rule.....
Bets on whether it goes through?
We’re going to need a few loopholes first.
Sure hope this doesn't end up morphing into a law that fails its core objective and end up fucking over poor people somehow!
15 years too late.
Uh-oh, looks like someone is going to have to buy Clarence Thomas another RV to get out of this one!
Another blow to Trump - they just keep coming.
Anyone remember when a bunch of Russians bought up a bunch of trump real estate?
Always amazed how blatant this is and yet the GOP only screams for Hunter Biden dick pics.
No more corrupt oligarchs, just straightlaced god fearing American oligarchs like ~~Blackrock~~ Blackstone and State Street 🥰
