They're always like, well we're doing market research blah blah blah. Literally just FUND PROGRESSIVE CREATORS. Progressive creators have to quit or end up shilling for the right because there is zero money in speaking truth to power, not from the Dem or GOP side.

Even this analogy understates how advantageous their system really is. Homeowners would still actually have it worse. You still pay property taxes on your home's value every year. Billionaires pay NO equivalent annual taxes on their stock holdings, no matter how much they appreciate.

Imagine if you could:

1. Have your paycheck go directly to your mortgage (bypassing income taxes)

2. Fund your entire lifestyle through home equity loans

3. Never pay taxes on your home's increasing value

That'd be great, right? That's what billionaires do—but with stocks instead of houses.
