and if they run out of billionaires how about landlords next

Depends what you define as landlord.

Guy who owns 2-3 duplexes in the city? Nah.

Big time landlord who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from thousands of properties? BOIL EM!!!

It still staggers me how quickly some people's opinions on landlords changes when they see the money. A bunch of otherwise stand up fellas are now dreaming of using their retirement investments to 'buy some houses, rent them out for the passive income,' and another of the group who says his dream is to buy/own an apartment complex, all the while salivating at the money.

Most of us are trying to play in a game we hate... where not playing means suffering. I don't really see just owning rental properties to be worthy of the billionaire boil. Hold them accountable for every scummy practice and ounce of harm caused by greed seeking, but not merely for renting housing out.
