Subsidizing home purchases will drive the prices even further out of reach. Stupid is as stupid does. Maybe a special assessment tax on people that own more than 10 properties?

As with any policy, the details matter. Should take about two weeks to hammer them out.

Why would you want to harm those that provide rental properties? Taxes shouldn't be punitive. We keep thinking in terms of fixing the problems by making them worse. Government can only fix things by getting out of the business of fixing things...each govco action just makes it worse.

We keep thinking in terms of fixing the problems by making them worse. Government can only fix things by getting out of the business of fixing things...each govco action just makes it worse. For decades a restrictive tax code, overtime laws, and other balances encouraged to hire people to keep from paying taxes and overtime. We started weakening those laws 44 years ago. We were promised higher wages and all the sweet sweet nothings was music to our ears. Except all it did was give them more money to buy back stocks. Boost executive pay astronomically, and give them even more money to buy our Government with. And the more taxes we cut for them the richer they got while leaving the working class behind. But of We just cut them a litttle.more we will finally see that wage growth that was promised. Now kick the ball Chuck. I wo t move it this time

And all of what you just said was because of government, not a lack of government. Track the changes... what happened 44 years ago? Creation of the IRA and the 401K. Why? So you could avoid punative taxes... government lead you to a product that never existed before by coercing you into it with punitive taxes. When the IRA and then 401K became big, the funds became controlled by corporate investors... which then included the voting. The voting wasnt being done by individuals anymore but by the corporate investors. They started putting their buddies on each others BOD and then they started scratching each others backs and executive compensation went thru the roof. It also removed the reins that kept companies manufacturing in the US... along with Federal incentives to move manufacturing offshore, thanks Ronnie, Bill, Herbert, and George.
You actually think laws control wages? How cute.

NO I know better. But when they had to either pay wages or pay taxes on it it worked out a lot better for the middle class. Instead of what we got.

Maybe it was Covid supply chain disruptions? If memory serves me, they used all types of excuses for inflation... The only one they forgot to mention was the reason for inflation, it was called the American Rescue Plan. I forgot, who broke the tie breaker in the Senate to pass the bill? Free money isn't free. well according to democrats inflation was at 9% when they took office. straight up lies to your face, excuses and lies is all they got.

Nothing says respect for the free market like proposing a bunch of tariffs. International trade is a whole other thing. Competing with a dictatorship that uses slave labor and that has no environmental regulations to compare to ours will have us at a disadvantage without tariffs. We need to level that playing field of all the externalities.

We need to level that playing field of all the externalities. Except, of course tariffs are essentially a tax that's paid by the American consumer. Not to mention the American producers that then have to be subsidized to stay afloat. Doesn't seem very free to me. Oh, and no one ever answer about monopolies. I wonder why?
