they do it 110 percent. Take the case of when a person loses his job.
For a short period he or she is receives a small weekly sum. When this
money is used up, then you have a free fall. Free fall means that fate
will take you so low that you will never get back on your feet unless
you rob a bank and for that you need a gun. I am talking about anyone
who slips and slides into an economic dent in the road. Take the case
of the people in LasVegas living in sewer pipes. White American
families living in tents outside of a major American city. My boss in
Chicago had several pictures on his walls of buildings that he owned.
People in the company said he was worth 40 million Dollars. When he
came to Germany he wanted to visit East Germany. We rented a big
Mercedes and we were driven into East Berlin. My boss and his wife got
out of a car and we looked at an apartment building. The Apartment
building had bullet marks on the walls and apparently a tank round
tried to get into the basement. There were people living in the
apartment house. Everything looked like the SS had their last stand in
this building. My boss stood there looked at everything and started to
tell me how great America is and then, his wife finally came around to
have closer look at the building and with a shocked voice said. "Mike
would you look at this! This looks like our buildings in Chicago".
Mike turned around and looked at his wife and as they say "If looks
can kill.."..Of course Mike had lots of property and he wanted to rent
only to Blacks and Latinos. He rented the apartments for what the
market would give and never invested, repaired, cleaned the buildings.
You don´t pay the rent and a gang comes and put you and your family on
the street. Street means sitting on the pavement and wondering if it
is going to rain tonight. Now in Europe we have rent control and laws
that prevent a person from letting a building deteriorate. Another
interesting thing is people go out onto the streets when injustice is
done. Look at Paris. 500000 people demonstrated for their retirement
payments or rental prices. But of course having someone living in a
safe healthy apartment is socialism to you guys
