OK, will somebody explain to me why it is so damned important to own a home? The federal government has subsidized it like hell since the 1940s and in my 27 years it seems as if there is some politician every few weeks or so talking about the importance of "increasing homeownership." Are landlords really that bad? I've never had any problem with mine. --- Clemenza, Proud renter since 1994.

Because it creates "wage slaves." Must make the mortgage, you know.

It isn't really about owning property. It's about the government having control and direct investment in our ownership of property. The chief goal of the Communist Movement is to strip all notion of private property from the proletariat and transfer it to the government. That's what the plan is. Call me crazy, but not until you've done your own research. Check the Communist Manifesto. Check the Naked Truth. Read "None Dare Call It A Conspiracy" and then start analyzing the stories you read based on what you've researched.

It very important to the government that you become a home debtor not a home owner. It makes people more passive and obedient. It also funnels money into Government Sponsored Mortgage cartels like Fannie and Freddie who in turn provide funding for Congress Critters to get re-elected.

Grok?
