   Yes. Affordable housing is communism. That is correct... Sheesh!   
      
   Why do you get so Tim Walz like this?

   Or sound policy.   
      
   Environmentalism, for starters. Just say "Conservationism."   
      
   Fuel. Pollution. Land -- don't need all those streets and parking   
   lots.   
      
   It's economic infrastructure:  Anywhere you have good, clean, safe.   
   reliable public transportation lines you have prime real estate for   
   businesses.

   Not true, unless you're rich and looking for a handout.   
      
   Then free market economics go out the window!   
      
   Reaganomics. VooDoo economics:  Shower cash on the people   
   who don't need it, and it'll trickle down to the masses   
   who do need it!   
      
   BILLIONS upon BILLIONS upon BILLIONS lavished on the rich,   
   nothing for the poor and middle class.   
      
   Remember the obscene "Covid" spending? Came to like $4 trillion   
   and more than half went directly to the billionaires.

   You're brainwashed though.   
      
   What you need to want to a shift to the income tax. It's   
   the only tax anywhere on the planet that looks at your   
   ability to pay before charging you. That makes it the best   
   and most fair tax, which also why the rich despise it and   
   brainwash the idiots into hating it.
