What's so great about the US is equality of opportunity. Any Fox commentator with millions can anonymously purchase real estate through a shell company. And so can a Russian mafioso or even a middling Kremlin government official who just happens also to have millions.
The controversial performance artist, host of the eponymous unreality TV show, has been revealed by The Guardian as a beneficiary of a federal mortgage guarantee program.
The Guardian found that Hannity owns millions of dollars of real estate through more than 20 shell corporations, which shield his identity. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, The Guardian notes, insured the mortgage loans with which Hannity purchased the properties. Let's be clear: This is a subsidy. This is a benefit. This is big government aiding a very wealthy man. This is welfare.
On his state-run media platform, Hannity can be found decrying welfare. He once expressed shock as he interviewed a California surfer and musician who received $189 a month in food stamps, as well as government health insurance. "Welfare Wave" the graphic blared. In 2012, comedian Jon Stewart slammed Hannity for promoting the fiction that President Barack Obama had created "an entitlement society."
In 2013, Hannity complained that an African-American man in Tennessee had allegedly fathered 22 children who were receiving welfare. A Hannity guest called for sterilizing the man. Another Hannity guest opined that "the women should have kept their legs closed."
But when it came to accepting government support for his real estate investments, Hannity didn't keep his wallet closed. The ethic of rugged individualism gave way to the desire to have the federal government help line Hannity's pocket.
Damn, the author went in hard on Hannity.
If he did it within the system, he might be a hypocrite, but it's good business, and I Hot to figure out how to do the same.
If he did it through favors and friends, he should go down.
Is it illegal? No, but it's a Media Matters shakedown. They keep trying and failing to take Hannity out.
Let's investigate all the Leftist media pundits. I wonder what we would find, hmmm? Remember when they were gloating over sexual harrassment at Fox? Kinda backfired on them.
One of those involved in the Hannity's shell company scam was Jeff Brock who pleaded guilty in 2016 to bank fraud and conspiracy for his part in a scheme to rig auctions on foreclosed homes. There was a fine and a short prison term.

Food stamps aren't illegal. Other than typical RW hypocrisy, WHY is it fine for conservatives to whine about those on food stamps while patting Hannity on the back for his gaming of the system?

Because it's different when it's the millionaire moocher class.
There is no cure for the cancer that is greed.
