Stubborn people

I really don’t understand my moms critical thinking. We argued today over the fact that the mayor of NYC is trying to freeze rents on stabilized apartments. I told her I thought it was a good idea especially in times like these where people are literally struggling to pay rent etc . She believes no one is entitled to handouts. And it’s so frustrating to hear that especially when she wasn’t born into wealth herself . She was dirt poor growing up and still to this day has nothing . She loves to defend the rich and I quite can’t understand why .
