Reply to comment by Oeslian in Re: Vermonters' reputed attitude toward out-of-staters by newsandseriousstuff

As much as I don't like that I feel this is a nationwide issue. We as a country have too many renters and large property mgmt companies. As a whole more and more Americans are losing access to own an affordable private property of their own.

If we tax the billionaires and corporate profits (heavily, nationally) and use that money to make housing way more affordable (nationally) and lower taxes on the little guy, the American Dream and financial security would be more easily achievable.

But Vermonters would still ridicule flatlanders as sport.

Fuck yeah a bunch of us are socialists, you big dumb snowflake. You live in NH, stay in their sub. Why are you even in the Vermont sub? I don't troll the Wisconsin or Florida subs.

Always something to complain about. I bet you have giant flags and/or stickers on your truck, don't you. You do, don't you?

That label doesn’t bother me if we can help folks get ahead, plus get a handle on obscene wealth.

Social security, veteran benefits, public education are socialist also but we seem to like those very much.

94 b in profits in 2021: Apple

And Zuckerberg has $320mil worth of real estate.

You don’t think that’s a tad excessive?
