I don't.

I also don't approve of government forcing "low income housing" on others.

Do you have some point?

This is fact.



Poor people rent from slumlords and consume housing yet the slumlords have produced nothing...and you say that consumption is enabled by production?

Of course. But it doesn't PRODUCE anything, unless you can account for time saved as conservation of wealth, and only if the time saved was more valuable than the cost of eating at McD's.



LOL!!!! My gawd, how do people come up with this insanity? Did you read it somewhere?

One thing your producing pnwmdk is the necessity of myself to bone up on some economics.

If I came into a lot of money, I would distribute to those who could boost the economy.

Donate to small business start-ups, get those entering the workforce out of school loan debt, and buy new cars for those having trouble getting to work.

I don't understand why billionaires and millionaires hoard their money. They have enough for several life-times, put it in the hands of those who can do something useful with it.

Did you even read my post?

I said business starters, workforce enterers, and job-holders need the boost. They have proven they know how to fish, they just need more bait.

I'd have to dig to find that, but you carefully couched the concept saying to the effect that you support minimum lot sizes because you don't want poor people buying next door to you.

Trying to reconcile your assertion that production enables consumption, with the reality that slumlords have produced nothing.
