And God made a landlord…

[EconProf]

And God made a landlord…
And God looked down and saw multitudes without shelter and without means to buy a house…and made a landlord
God put good people and bad people among those multitudes, and challenged his landlord to tell the difference
And God challenged his landlord to cope with trashed apartments, users of drugs, and pit bulls
And motorcycles overhauled in living rooms, and temporary guests for six months, and late rents
And God gave landlords government inspectors and tax collectors, and courts wherein landlords could eventually gain possession but not money
And God said the landlord cannot enjoy these wonderous benefits unless he first earns in excess of his spending for many years
And saves those surpluses unlike many in the multitude of renters who spend their earnings each year
And God commanded his landlord to not buy in peak years, and in declining neighborhoods, and with high interest rates from usurious money changers so as to not lose his savings
And God gave his landlord friends and relatives who envied his eventual profits, and complained loudly to him about the inequity and unfairness of the distribution of income
And God gave his landlord tax collectors to take from him these unearned surpluses, and regulators to harrass him, and lawyers to sue him
And God gave his landlord Piggington, to share with other landlords and tenants, both good and bad in each group, the slings and arrows of landlording and tenanting

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news… You’re screwed…

15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a] to Caesar or not?”

18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
