The anti-capitalist: Krystle Able

By: Diane Benjamin Of course socialists hate capitalism. Krystle posts lots of anti-American stuff but this is a classic: . Let’s start with people should be encouraged to buy a home, not rent their entire life. Owning builds wealth, renting does nothing but provide a place to live while you pay somebody else’s mortgage. Krystle […]
