She is “not suited to home ownership”? But she IS suited to vote?

Reminds me of the Left’s claim that democracy isn’t for everybody.

Home ownership is for everyone. Unless they are living a nomadic existence. Paying monthly rent with no deduction for residence or established investment is a con in and of itself.

And states gouging home owners with higher and higher tax appraisals isn’t helping.

A man’s home is his castle.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Just because a man is a fool does not mean that he should live as a slave in a shack on someone else’s plantation his whole life.

As this, and lots of other stories just like it show, being a fool, or even just "somewhat slower than average" means exactly that.

And, there is no way to set up a nanny state set of laws that prevent this outcome without stifling rewards for hard work and saving.

No, actually she ISN'T suited to vote. And the fact that we allow people like her to vote is going to lead to the downfall of this country.
