1)  Federal Rent  Control--      50 States. Maximum         Rent should be $700.   2) If Tenants pay a Rent  between $1500 and $2000 --they should OWN the apartment in 5 to 7 years.         Hyper-Inflated  3a) Rent Reparations, 3b) Land Reparations. 4) Federal Gov must      create and foster      Affordable Housing--      for Rent and for Sale.   5a) Wealthy  Americans must change their wealth-addicted Life & Work Styles--   5b) Apprenticeships for ALL (sort Mutual Funds) existing workers could train former business people in exchange for democratic employee stock ownership (ESOP).

1) Do the Majority of American Citizen-Voters believe we need a Federal Law Requiring Real Rent Control Everywhere and Forever ? Initiative and Referendum in ALL 50 States and at the Federal level--widely discussed in the mid 1990's--might accomplish this.        0/2) Today--because the Tenants have over-worked and overpaid per lifetime--a dozen times more  than the value of the units--They should OWN them--and are owed big Reparations. Today in 2024--the average Rent--WORKED AND PAID by Millions of Inner City Tenants--primarily PEOPLES OF COLOR--is just under $2000 per month.   If the pre-inflated value of these basic apartments is $75,000--the tenants have paid its value in only 3 years. A very real profit can be made by the investors in 5 years--at which point--the (former) Tenant should own the unit--forevermore--and be able to put their hard-earned wages in the Bank--forevermore. The Investors should then take their profit--build  ecological technology industries /jobs--and pay  reasonable wages and taxes.

(02) If Millions and Millions of these hard-working Tenants have WORKED and PAID at least $1000 per month more than they should have--they are truly owed something on the order of $500,000 per individual / household per 50-year working lifetime.   Today--with a massive explosion of wealth for more than            800 Billionaires, nearly        10,000 100-Millionaires; 22,000,000 Millionaires--also         7,000 money-laundering /         middle-class buffer zone                                     Mutual Funds           (213 in 1987) and  [25]         3,000 tax-free                   Investment  Banks                (59 in 1987).  [25] DOW Index and Gross "Domestic" Product  [30] exceeding those of 1960 by a factor of 50--a fact that is never mentioned is that this wealth is all too dependent upon the enslavement of 1/2 of America and the enslavement of 1/2 of the World--worse than ever in history--and seems to be quite Parallel to the Explosion (UN/ILO) in "Free" Trade.   The amount of wealth these monsters think they can continue to take out of the slaves of the world cannot possibly continue--and never should have started. Let's compare its evolution to banging thru the gears of a 4-speed transmission--- 1st gear) the Reagan election of 1980 2nd gear) the end of the Reagan Administration 3rd gear) North American Trade Agreement of 1994 4th gear) 2010--the US GDP and DOW index start going VERTICAL.

05a) If the Investors lose their sources of free money--hyper-inflated rents amongst them--they will have to  get back to WORK--for the privilege of living much lower on the  hog.       As some of the better-off already do things like volunteer with Habitat for Humanity--maybe they AND the Trump Monster might make themselves useful by converting their use-LESS mansions into affordable housing.

Taxes ? Corporations--50 years ago used to pay about 40% of ALL our taxes--today next to NOTHING. The highest personal bracket--from 1933 thru 1967 was right around 90%. By 1987--it had been reduced to 40%. How much would they owe--for the PAST 50 years---if we changed it back to 1933 thru 1967 ?
