Yep. I was a homeowner for 20 years and rented for twelve years after that.

The real problem with the property ownership rule is that over decades and centuries, we could end up like the old England, where property is owned by only a few land barrons and everyone else rents, and can’t vote.

Yep.

Now I am in favor of no one on government assistance can vote but how could you define it?

Basic Allowance for Quarters can be technically termed as government housing assistance.

And I am not certain that people on government assistance actually vote in any great numbers. Other people voting for them I will buy. Actual voting, not so much.

They didn’t believe in a democracy.

That’s why they gave us a representative republic. They gave us rule of law over mob rule.

And yes, that does make us an exceptional nation.

Unfortunately that gave us the New York Times.

Africa will take you. Go there, see what a wonderland blacks have made of that place.
