> I don't think it's that many people aspire to be a landlord.

I think it was a reference to this famous quote:

> John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires. -- Ronald Wright, A Short History of Progress

I got the temporarily embarrassed reference but figured the comment was otherwise serious.
