The fact that
@Jean Jacket won't even admit how many properties he owns shows that he knows it would disadvantage him in the conversation. He keeps bringing up hypotheticals of the "non-rich landlord" or the "hardworking person who buys a separate property", but that's not who he is or who he is trying to protect. He's trying to protect the 1%.
Every landlord who profits off of a poorer person's inability to own their own home is literally taking a poorer person's wages and using them to augment their own bank account, without doing the work themselves.
You admit to owning a great number of properties, meaning you do relatively little work for each one. But every one of those people needs to work all month just to pay you off for merely owning a place. They do all the work, but only you get to build wealth.
It's an uneven power dynamic they only agree to because they're too poor to resist the landowners. They would never agree to build your wealth and fund your legacy at their own expense if they weren't desperate to live somewhere.
When you charge them significantly more than it costs you, you prevent them from building wealth, so they can never own their own assets. With as many properties as you now own, you clearly have been charging a LOT more than your costs in order to be able to build to this point.
And when you push for laws that favor landowners over tenants, you make it easier for other landowners to prevent renters from building assets too.
Forget individual exceptions. In a system where every economic transaction (landowners/rents, loaners/debtors , owners/employees) is designed to favor the profits of the wealthy non-worker over the poorer worker, how can the wealth gap do anything BUT increase?
