Hannity has said that he hates investing in the stock market, and instead buys real estate. But no one had reported the scale of investments by the host, who makes about $30 million a year. Hannitys shell companies have spent at least $90 million buying up at least 870 homes spread over seven states, the Guardian reported.
Among the holdings are mansions and apartment buildings rented to low-income families.
Troublingly given how Hannity talked about the raid on Cohens office and homes without disclosing that he was a client, Hannity also has dealings journalist would normally disclose.
He bashed Obama about the foreclosure rate but bought up homes during the crisis, the report says, and he made deals involving the US Department for Housing and Urban Development which he did not disclose when interviewing and praising Ben Carson, who Trump appointed to lead the department.

Every Libertarian I know does this. After all, they are self-affecting people--just out for themselves.
These types complain about socialism, while trying to take advantage of every program they can.
They see programs they get as deserved, ones they can't plug into as a tax.
This brings me to my point: How critical of HUD programs has Hannity been, since he's probaby abusing it?

Even if they were "open," they probably had their own fixer who invalidated legitimate offers to control the sale.

(3,208 posts)What a greedy person Hannity is. I don't know why anyone would want to get their news or listen to the opinions of someone who is so concerned with themselves and making money when they already have more than enough.
