Over half a million homeless people in America is not a cause, it’s a symptom. A nation’s economy should to the best of our ability set everyone up to win. Yet ours does not. Those who hold the major levers of power don’t even think that would be a good idea. 1/3

From refusing to tax the very richest to corporate subsidies to absurd military budget, our biggest problem isn’t economic but moral: a willingness to see massive human suffering as an acceptable result of our economy’s driving impulse to give more to those who already have. 2/3

The only thing that will keep this country from an ultimate descent into societal madness is a massive change of heart.3/3

Disagree. It’s sad yes, but we have large budgets in States where most of the unhoused reside … much of that money is misspent and mismanaged. When it comes to spending other people’s money, the govt has no natural incentive to be efficient. You’re taking aim at the wrong thing.

Taxing the rich and solving homelessness are two different things. The homeless don't vote. So Biden decided to help the best and brightest, those who have gone to college, just now, to help the Dems in the midterm election.

The rich pay the VAST majority of income tax revenue the government collects. It’s not even a debatable fact. You look so foolish saying things like this that it weakens your arguments and credibility.

Do United States and Canada do not have a full-fledged democracy for one reason and one reason holy. Some parts of it are fraudulent and we don’t have direct democracy. Representative democracy doesn’t work when you have to maintain the platform of the party
