It's not them. You would do the same if you had properties and kids.
Realestate is a market. It's inside the money.
Some regimes tried to change that by force but it doesn't work. Even if you kill all the richs, they are replaced by another group (lawyers or bureaucrats):

I think it's not a fatality. It's just a lack of knowledge. We don't know enough of human group behaviour.
- branchless 11y agoNo I wouldn't because I'm not a scumbag. I understand the system, I have funds to participate yet I do not. I will also vote for a brighter tomorrow by trying to support land value tax. Boomers want "me me me" in the main.
- vmorgulis 11y agoIt's not a problem of Will. If you think that, you might become a victim of "bad" people. Most people are not bad and do what they can. Even the wealthy do their best. Most of them have a family or friends to take care. Vote is useless. Big changes happens even during economic crisis or after wars.
