LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE HOMELESS: Will Trump and his Property Pirates Prevail?

“How can a man be said to have a country when he has not a right to a square inch of it”. Henry George

“There are no homeless in America, they just don’t know who to call.” Ronald Reagan

“When elites see a homeless person in the gutter, they assume he’s saving a parking place”. P.J. O’Rourke

“Seven out of ten Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless”. Pras Michel

“Life is now a war zone, and as such, the number of people considered disposable has grown exponentially, and this includes low-income whites, poor minorities, immigrants, the unemployed, the homeless, and a range of people who are viewed as a liability to capital and its endless predatory quest for power and profits”. Henry Giroux

“Two years before the housing market collapsed in 2008, Donald Trump looked forward to a crash: ‘I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy,’ he said. But our future president wasn’t alone. While millions of Americans suffered financial loss, tycoons pounced to heartlessly seize thousands of homes… Among the men who laughed their way to the bank: Trump cabinet members Steve Mnuchin and Wilbur Ross, Trump pal and confidant Tom Barrack, and billionaire Republican cash cow Steve Schwarzman.” Aaron Glantz
