'R AL L PAST DUB IRENN r ,rfC Our Cost for Tenant Welfare The Facts: As an example, under Tenant Welfare (Rent Control), some consumers pay $1,200 per month for an apartment with a fair market value of $2,000. The individual business owner is thereby being forced to subsidize that consumer for a total of $800 every month! Why not also require all other businesses, like grocery stores restaurants, auto dealers etc., to give 40% off their fair price to these tenants or have all taxpayers pay for this program? Why force a small group of business owners, who provide housing, to pay 100% of the cost of this welfare program? Does this not look like discrimination to you? If all taxpayers cannot afford to provide this welfare, how do lawmakers expect a group of small business owners to carry this total burden without destroying housing and its providers? Unethical and a Total Disgrace Plus, to force this small number of business men and women to carry the total cost of assuring that these lawmakers get re-elected is a total disgrace and contrary to our American Economic System of Free Enterprise. Redistributing other people's wealth and labor, and thereby destroying their retirement plans, is totally wrong and will eventually lead, not only to the destruction of housing, but also the destruction of a moral society! The integrity of the lawmaker who votes for tenant welfare is questionable! Are these lawmakers true Americans or are they Bernie Sanders Socialists? Even socialists believe that the cost of welfare should be shared by all the people (except the "elite"). They seem to be more ethical and logical than those who "say" they believe in free enterprise and then vote for "rent control" M!
