How can anyone be in the residential real estate business and NOT have some association with the federal government? It would be nearly impossible since the federal government regulates virtually every aspect of real estate from the financing, to construction standards, to subsidizing tenants, to EPA regulating where things can be built, to the labor department and OSHA, etc.
We ought to admire anyone who can navigate these waters and succeed. Instead, Hannity is made out to be some sort of crook. America has become a place where successful people must watch their backs because through some sort of twisted logic, they have become the enemy.
