AZ Republican Rep. Kupper drops anti free market housing bill Ep. 2323

I’m in my tenth year doing this show and the leftist Democrats annoy me when they propose (and pass) anti constitutional, anti free market and socialist bills. But as my long time listeners know when Republicans drop idiotic bills, it infuriates me even more because I expect more from so called free market conservatives. Which leads me to rant for nearly an hour about the idiotic bill proposed by Arizona Republican Representative legislature Nick  Kupper. His poorly written, ill-conceived, laden with huge downside, dumpster fire of a bill, HB 2325. Oh and the fact that corporate media is cheering it’s “bipartisan” (mostly Democrat) support and the fact that it’s named the “Own Something and Be Happy Act” should be all you need to know that it’s bad news.
