Richard,
The fact that prices keep rising so I paid less for my house than I sold it
for is immaterial because that's just a matter of inflation. It's not an
increase in real wealth or value.
My point is that the majority of people do not benefit from what big
corporations get from the government. The people who write business columns
and articles for The Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post, are always
writing from the point of view of the people who own their publications or
advertise in them and they also want to continue having access to powerful
people. But it's a lie to say that regulations are cut because they aren't.
They're just changed to benefit corporations. Money isn't saved. It just
goes to a small number of people instead of paying for public services that
all of us use. Benefits aren't cut. They're taken away from poor people and
given to corporations and banks. After all, our government subsidizes fossil
fuel companies and nuclear energy plants but it takes food and health care
away from the poor. And it gives untold amounts of money to military
contractors. I have to worry about whether or not I'll have enough money to
pay for decent care until I die because our government continues to spend
money for unnecessary military adventures. Unsafe nuclear energy plants
which aren't financially sustainable are subsidized. That doesn't benefit
anyone

When you purchased your home what did you pay for it?
When you sold your home what were you paid for it?
Simple math will tell you how much you have gained, lost or broken even.
The fact that you sold when the market was depressed is tough to take but it
is also educational.
I could write more but I fear mental wandering.
