Maybe Karl Marx had the right idea when he suggested abolishing private property. If I'm an extremist for saying that, so be it.

@ianduffy5176 The U.S. has more vacant houses than any other nation? Why we need more when we already have a surplus of unsold homes? Around 16 million vacant homes in the U.S.

This is why he needs to buy a gun and no trespassing signs. Maybe put some land mines on his property. If you threaten people they usually leave you alone. If you've got good people skills you can get others on your side to fight for you too. Unfortunately it's a dog eat dog world for the poor and only those with the sharpest teeth get their way if they don't have the money to get their way.

@FloridaGirl- Karl Marx was persecuted by the wealthy and elite for his views. Lived in abject poverty most of his life. Read his biography. It's fascinating and also quite depressing. Fun fact: Marxist didn't believe in big government. He wasn't a statist. He believed in a stateless society with no government at all. A stateless and classless society he called it. Now you may ask why was the USSR all about the state then? Good question. It must not have been a true Marxist society is the only logical answer. In truth, no true Marxist society has ever existed.

Life doesn't have to be hard but the business owners are guilty of wage theft from the workers. That's why stronger, more violent labor unions are important.

@jdawg3629 You and I need to have a debate about wage theft during the Great Depression, alienation of labor, and why we have labor unions.

If my neighbor called the cops on me in that situation I'd show up to their house with a Rottweiler and threaten to kill their whole family if they called the cops again. Then when the cops showed up again I'd turn on the charm and the humor and tell them that I never threatened anyone and the neighbors are liars. I'd even invite the cops to dinner. I'd even ask if there were any part time positions at the police department and make up some story about how I wanted to be a policeman as a little kid. I'd also spread lies about the neighbors and how they're really bad people who urinate in the creek, use foul language in front of their children, and steal things. I'd tell the cops I caught them skinnydipping and having sex outdoors. When you're poor you have to learn how to manipulate everyone out of necessity.

Forced to pay the leeches and vampires. I mean forced to pay the landlords and banks for rent and mortgage.
