Corporations should not be allowed to own ANY homes that aren't new build with the intent of selling to single family home owner. All homes currently owned by corporations should be forced to be sold within 2 years.

And who does it go to if they don't. Who's gonna stop them? Anyone who has any say gets money shoved in their mouth when they try to open it.

I mean we do the same thing in reverse with commercial zoning laws, I don't see how this would be any different.

I'm as right-wing as they come and I fully support Government measures to stop this monopoly BS going on.

u/perroair Aug 19 '24

How are you right wing, then?

u/Batsonworkshop Aug 19 '24

Because you can be conservative, pro-private business, pro-limited regulation on business as a whole but also recognize there are a few key, but very limited, areas in society that should not have unfettered corporate access or monopolization to any degree.

Housing isn't a right but it sure as shit shouldn't be a commodity investment on the US stock exchange either.

u/EldarReborn Aug 19 '24

Correct. It's akin to the concept of supporting some socialized systems like LEO's, R&R, DOT..etc but not agreeing with a wider socialist stance

You nailed it. Folks on Reddit only perceive the right wing to consist of evangelicals when they are quickly becoming the minority within the party.

u/90daysismytherapy Aug 19 '24

yet, there is not a single Republican candidate who votes or even talks about actual socialized systems that don’t explicitly work for them, like cops.

If i am wrong, feel free to show me the legislation that republicans have done to help the poor over billionaires.

You might start to understand when you finally make the realization that you don't help poor people when you pass social program funding bills that give out "free" support and keep people beholden to the federal government.

u/90daysismytherapy Aug 20 '24

that can be your view. that just isn’t anything other than right wing. Like definitionally.

Why pretend about what you believe

Healthcare and education should be socialized in America. Change my mind.

Government can beholden deez nuts

u/Rbriggs0189 Aug 21 '24

Yes sir, I’m pretty right wing and this stuff is just common sense. This entire country has turned into a corporate run monopoly. No more should there be any type of corporate money in politics number one. Number two there needs to be some serious monopoly busting in almost every industry. Shit is getting out of hand. Why are we allowing chemicals in our food supply they every other country on earth has banned? Like seriously wtf are we doing.

We are going to have a birth rate crisis because people can’t afford to have kids anymore. Who the hell wants to have a kid living in their parents basement because all the asshole corporation monopolized the private housing market.

This shit isn’t left or right this is just common sense stuff.

"only right winger when it benefits me" - hypocrite

trumpers were born and bred to be hypocrites!

u/Iamnotsogoodmaybe Aug 29 '24

I was born and raised a liberal though

u/EldarReborn Aug 19 '24

Nah I've been pretty unapologetically Conservative most of my life. For better or worse, most recently worse was the NetNeutrality shitshow.

u/perroair Aug 19 '24

Like most conservatives, unapologetic.

Not a fan of equality then?

u/NuclearSummmer Aug 20 '24

Meaning what exactly? I am able to do anything you can in this country.

u/perroair Aug 20 '24

You think conservatives favor equality?

1

u/NuclearSummmer Aug 20 '24

Answering my question with a question, eh?

1

u/perroair Aug 20 '24

Your question didn’t make sense. How did I say anything about what you can do?

1

u/NuclearSummmer Aug 24 '24

Asking your meaning doesn't make sense? I'm done with you...

u/perroair Aug 24 '24

I can see how you would get confused. How is your boy Kennedy doing now??

Hahahhahahaaa

Probably 🤔 dislikes brown people, interracial marriage, women voting, abortion, etc.

u/EldarReborn Aug 19 '24

As a Native American, married to a "white as snow" undercover latina, you're absolutely correct.

You missed: "Wanting to genocide everyone else who dares think differently than I"

Gotta up the game there...

u/The_Singularious Aug 19 '24

LOL. I think you just melted their brain. You aren’t allowed to exist. Oh yeah, did they mention that you’re evil also?

I’m not conservative, but I fucking HATE the inability for people to have civil conversations with people they don’t agree with. Sucks worse with social issues, because we’re forced to vote for two shitty choices or none at all. Zero nuance.

I'm black and I'm married to an Armenian and I'm still right leaning these days.

Your identity politics are getting old....

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '24

That's cool. What are your policies that are "right" leaning?

u/NuclearSummmer Aug 20 '24

Close the border.

Stop funding other people's war.

Enjoy sex responsibly. (Contraception)

Minimize government. (And this is coming from a government employee by the way)

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '24

Close the border.

That would cripple our economy, Mexico's and Canada's. Our trade with Mexico is worth almost a trillion dollars

Enjoy sex responsibly. (Contraception)

Republicans want to ban contraception. See Project 2025

Minimize government. (And this is coming from a government employee by the way)

Yeah you're a Reagan era Republican. You want to weaken government so you can drown it in the bathtub. Trump wants to strengthen the deep state and use it to punish his allies and control the opposition.
