Did you really use a $50k house that needs at least $100k in repairs in a terrible neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio as an example? Are you trolling? This might be the worst house for sale in America.
Seriously? You think that’s the worst house in America? There’s not even pictures of the inside because long term tenants live there.
Thats not a bad area. Thats W.46 between Storer and Clark. I could open zillow again, and try to find some of those $2,000 dollar houses if you want to see some houses that need repairs. And they’d be in the actual ghetto.
I would say that the likelihood of being able to live in the house you linked to without repairs that would cost far, far more than that is highly unlikely. But hey, you inhale all the black mold spores you like. Don’t let me stop you.
Also, maybe you have $70,000 on hand to buy a house, but most people have mortgages, and after you pay your mortgage and your utility bills and buy food, I don’t think much of that $1500 will be left. If you even make enough.

Lol there aren’t pictures of the inside because the tenants have destroyed the place and are refusing to pay rent, and the landlord - having learned that investing in rental properties is not always the money-printing panacea it’s cracked up to be - is desperate to escape from the situation.
Thats the whole point of the original comment. I can’t figure out WHAT his motivation is, when his entire career is him basically saying “DESTROY ME! I SHOULDN’T HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY! NOBODY SHOULD!”
…but whys HE saying that. Like I could understand if he made like 30k a year, and had a few thousand in savings. But he’s the image of who’s he’s trying to turn the torches on. Is it intentional? Does he not realize?
Meanwhile, people read the innitial comment I made, and are defending him by saying he’s not the problem.
Why’s he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I’d rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.
His motivation is pretty clear if you actually look at his political career. You may agree or disagree with him but the way you’re trying to tear into him just shows you don’t have a grasp of the actual problem he presents.
You can go read his tax returns yourself. His income most years is his salary, boosted several times by the release of his books after his popularity. This in total has netted him a few million. You can argue his books should have been published for free, but it’s not some shady stock manipulation.
This site is a good visualization. I’m not sure if it’s up to date but the top end has only gotten bigger. You’re arguing about something on the first screen scroll. By the end of the decade we’re likely to see our first TRILLIONAIRE…
Maybe in the 80’s. Not now.

All I did was pull up zillow, and set the parameters for 50k-80k. This is the first result. There’s 15 more.

This is what you said before:
Where are you planning to live on that interest? Because it won’t be in that house.
You don’t think you could live in a $70,000 house, that’s fully paid off, with $1,500 a month?

How’s the commute from there to the Capitol building where he works?
He doesn’t have to work. The comment was that he could buy a house, buy solar, and never have to do anything again.
You think he works for the money?!?

Which completely misses the point.
Why’s he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I’d rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.
He’s not advocating for just taxing the rich though. He’s advocating for eliminating the rich. Which he’s part of.
He’s not fucking rich! A few million dollars is not rich in the USA in 2025. How can you be this ignorant?
I’m never going to have a few million dollars, but just because I am lower class doesn’t mean it’s not possible without exploiting others!
Which would make for a better world. Which he believes in.
