Even Ron Paul is into this "Austrian School of Economics," which basically is The Mises Institute. Those people are Free Traders too. Like NeoConservatives, they seem like another subversion of Conservative Politics, only much more "Libertarian." Pat Buchanan and Ross Perot opposed Free Trade, but neither party does. (remember, the exception doesn't prove the rule)

I'm talking about things such as fixing windows, painting, fixing sidewalks, new roofing and siding, etc. Legally, they are the responsibility of the landlord.

If you plug the toilet up, don't expect the landord to come over and fix it; do it yourself or pay a plumber yourself! I'm not talking about "roofing"

All the industry and traffic that used to make Cleveland "smell like success!" is gone.
