It's time to add a cost of living tax to property owners.

The money taken in can go to paying the rent and house loans for anyone making less than $100,000 a year.

Young people don't stand a chance without it.

The American Steel book is great! One of my favorites. Its about getting it done! The personalities that it takes! Not super technical but an enjoyable read.
