I have realised over my life. Hard work and honesty and good morals don't get you any capital in this world.
Rich people are not hard working....they are greedy. The exception is that they worked hard....the rule is they cheated....
Show me a rich person and I will show you incompetences and ignorance to match their wealth.
Anyone whose money works for them and uses their money to buy other people to do the work...this includes landlords, bankers, people who live off their stocks, etc... If they don't work, run a business, or operate some functioning economic driver they are rich.
This includes owners who don't operate the business in anyway...franchise owners who don't actually do anything except own....
Exceptions are people who have retired, but they should stay the fuck out of the economy then.
What is wrong with being a landlord? Are they expected to rent you their house for free?
....perhaps they should only buy what they need for themselves......then they wouldn't need to rent them....other would have one already......gee willickers...!
So if I want to live anywhere you are saying I should be forced to buy the entire property? That is some insane leftist nonsense.
You are jealous of landlords for having an easy income source, but they are providing a legitimate service. I rent right now, and I don't want to buy this place outright or take out a mortgage.
