In the richest country in the world, no one needs to live in poverty; no one needs to be homeless; no one needs to be uneducated; no one needs to be underfed; no one needs to be without healthcare, clean water or healthy food. Every one of those results from bad policy decisions.

The richest country in the world is Russia.

Apparent position of Republicans: We can't afford all that. Subtext: The wealthy are different from you and me. If they exploit loopholes in the tax law, it's because they're so smart. If govt pursues its petty demands on their riches, they'll just take their bounty elsewhere.

What action should people take? Let me propose something simple that everyone can do. On November 8, 2022 vote by writing in a name and/or casting for a 3rd party. DO NOT vote for any candidate running as a Democrat or Republican. The most peaceful actionable thing we can do.

The residents of San Francisco couldn't agree with you more.

The people who need it don't want it because they think that their less-desirable neighbors might get it, too, with the mistaken belief that their tax dollars are paying for them. How to fight that?

I agree. Politics is about the allocate of funds. It is a shame that the world’s only superpower forgets about some of its citizens and lets people struggle. Meanwhile foreign aid and the Pentagon have extraordinarily large budgets. Don’t underestimate bipartisan miserly misers.

.@marwilliamson may need to run again for President of the United States just so the bloody country can hear what does and doesn’t make sense. Who are we?

You guys can't fix the rampant devaluation of our currency or the current supply line crisis, but some how universal healthcare, education, and housing are different and doable, right?
