Since the 40th President has opened our government doors for big business to write our laws, he ushered the era of lawless capitalism. From a conspiracy to mortgage the future of students through expensive higher education to private prisons, Ronald Reagan single-handedly unleashed greed on the American people. Today, a big sign lawless capitalism has decimated the middle class lies in big corporations buying suburban single family homes to rent them out. Fewer people can afford to buy homes anymore, and far more rely on rent to live month-to-month.

Hello $7.25 an hour minimum wage.
Lawless capitalism has decimated the middle Class, which made home ownership a dream. Now, as a sign of times, companies are buying homes from the baby boomer generation to rent them out to the less prosperous Millennial generation who can no longer afford to buy them.
Plenty of those in this era of lawless capitalism.
Meanwhile, President Biden is still mulling over student loan forgiveness. Any wonder why his ratings with Generation X and the Millennials have tanked?
