Exactly how does this mean anything he planned is collapsing ? The margin between the rich and poor grows larger every day -the man and his friends are making billions of dollars and as a renter I read recently that a new trend is developing where the Renter pays his landlord who then pockets the money and a few years later you are evicted -Even though you had never missed a payment or even ben late on one -you are gone -is it legal -NO -but as a renter I don't have the capital to take the man to court -I'd be doing good to find another place to live after being evicted -The 'Ownership Society' is for the elite few -always has been -always will be .
