“The Rent Is Too Damn High” Party made a compelling argument. Indeed. This corruption of the entire US system -from politics to justice to economics- fueled by sociopathic greed is what real Americans are upset about and Google and the MSM censor the truth of the crisis. This is what Americans should be in the streets protesting in sustained massive numbers until effective change is made to the corrupt elitist establishment system that is enslaving humanity and creating a crisis of epic revolutionary proportions.
Some excerpts from the article:
“The unperturbed rise of rents and housing prices gives lie to the claim of politicians — both Republican and Democrat — that American society has stabilized following the 2008 financial crisis and that, in the words of former president Barack Obama, “things have never been better.” Meager wage increases in 2013 and 2014 have been entirely swallowed by higher rents and the inflation of prices for goods.
“One in three Californians pays over half of their income in rent. The crisis of affordable housing is far from being a statewide (California) phenomenon: it is a process that is unfolding across the United States and internationally (particularly the large metro areas).”
“The soaring rents and housing prices are a manifestation of the upward redistribution of wealth from the working class to the bourgeoisie.”
“The response of the political elites is one of callous cynicism in which they intend to aid the profiteering practices of real estate billionaires.”
“The federal government cuts what little housing aid is available for the working class while abetting the accumulation of riches by real estate moguls. Only a (democratic) socialist, international program of common ownership of the means of production and the rationalization of the economy can guarantee every human’s right to secure and decent housing.”
