"Life, Liberty and PROPERTY"

What was the reason behind our "founding fathers'" assassination of "Life, Liberty and PROPERTY" ? Selling properties generates only a one-time profit. Land Lord-ism generates a forever profit.

Land Issues:

1989--2023--HR 40 / S 40 1997--Pigford v Glickman 2010--Pigford II 1999--Garcia v Vilsack 1999--Keepseagle v Vilsack 2023--Justice for Black Farmers Act

ica)    In Colonial America --Land LORDS were a thing of the past. Just before America's Revolution--90 % of America's Working People were PAYING a MORTGAGE. At the very same time in Europe--90% of the Working People were still Tenants and Serfs.   "Life, Liberty and PROPERTY" were amongst the 1st words drafted by the founding fathers of the United Sates--these by our 1st Continental Congress--in what is commonly called a rough draft to our Declaration of Independence--on 14 Oct 1774.   A year and 1/2 later--"PROPERTY" was faithlessly, Godlessly reduced to "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" by our 2nd Continental Congress--on 04 July, 1776. For THIS--over the next 6 years--50,000 American Patriots gave their lives. None of these Soldiers were ever paid a dollar--resulting in nearly ALL of them LOSING their properties.  To this day--our original Life, Liberty and PROPERTY System has NEVER  been recovered.

[*] ● National Tenants' Union fails. ● Kill the IRS project--by America's      richest: 1967-1987  [35]  1994--Rent Control lost in Mass.

[*] 2017--afl-cio joins the fight for RENT CONTROL--at the national level--but is told this is against the law.  (nlihc) While it is the opinion of some that the afl-cio should not be allowed to fight for TENANTS' RIGHTS--this is the ONE MOST IMPORTANT THING THEY SHOULD BE DOING. Time after time--when Workers receive a well-earned raise--this increase is destroyed by an unearned raise for the Land Lords, Business People and Investors.   2020--Emergence of National Landlord Mega Corporations-- largely owned by Mutual Funds and Investment Banks-- shareholders have NO VOTE. "..The vast majority of these apartment owners are Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) whose combined (nationwide) assets increased from $65 billion in 2000 to $812 billion in 2018...". [*]   Tenants' Rights activists have demanded that Landlords and Tenants be placed on an even footing in how they are each treated by our Federal Government--while Congressional power brokers favor all types of Landlords--Not Tenants--by an overwhelming margin.   https://tenantfederation.org/rent-caps/ "...Our government is in business (bed) with our landlords. The nation’s biggest “affordable housing” programs, like the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), funnel public financing to the private (investors). The government sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do $150 billion in annual business with landlords, financing their loans on sweet terms, with limited requirements...". [*]
