Full disclosure. I'm a liberal. I own a rental housing business.

Note that this moratorium does not in any way provide assistance to landlords. You know what this moratorium will do? Drive the small landlord businesses out of business because only the big guys will survive this. Small landlord businesses like mine has received zero assistance and will receive zero assistance.

I don't get it. Conservatives claim to favor small businesses. But why keep trying to kill us off?

Do you remember conservatives warning you about giving the government too much power? And that one day it would be used against you?

Trump has been a democrat most of his life. He's not a traditional conservative by any stretch of the imagination. However, the alternative to Trump is Biden, pAntifa and BLM destroying your rental properties, burning your houses/businesses down, and calling you a racist/nazi if you should lift one finger in self defense. The cherry on top is they want to take your guns and police away.


Vote wisely.

Yep-I agree with you-both conservatives and Democrats are tying to kill off the rental industry. When these property owners go under, they will likely sell their property outright to buyers, rather than renters-further increasing pressure on rental costs. Only a fool would be a landlord with both parties seem to think that they can be tapped to support either sides unlimited pandering vor votes.

You mean how conservatives tried to push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? Or when conservatives fought tooth and nail to keep sodomy laws in the books?

Both parties want to expand government powers. Don't pretend like you don't know this.

I never claimed otherwise. Overreach can come from every side. But remember that it was conservatives and libertarians who were warning you guys that this would eventually happen. But like good little boot-lickers, you just rolled over and let it happen.

Does anyone realize that they are forcing the owners to carry all the expenses of the property out of their own pocket with zero income

I don't know... how are you on re-opening businesses amidst COVID?

And... you own a business? You're rich. Who cares what you want...
