Putting all the onus on the poor to change property tax laws (when they can't even afford to live) is a covert endorsement of the systemic aggression being put upon them. It's a slick way to slip out of any accusation of cruelty.
Just like how racism is white people's problem, systemic bias against the poor is the problem of people with money and they (we?) need to be the ones to solve it. Capitalism can't be the only way to choose winners if a society is going to be compassionate and ethical.
