I come around like a comet just to remind everyone that everything I’ve said is slowly but surely coming into mass awareness. It’s a process of easing the sleeping masses into awareness of the ugly truth. Things could not be going more smoothly. I tell you this truly: humanity has threaded the needle against impossible odds and the #GoldenAge is here. Enjoy and be thankful.
imo. the best way to solve homelessness is through direct programs. such as the government building affordable housing or contracting it to other to pay. in california the biggest issue is local government preventing upgrades to single family homes and 50% of homeless people are located there there. anyways in the us there are (550k homeless people) (it costs 250k/unit for affordable housing) so roughly 140b to fix it. the best way to solve poverty is ubi. about 40m make less than 12k. if I had to guess a few other would prefer not to do anything so about 20% of population, anyways 60m * 12k = 720b. anyways taht would solve it, at least in the us. it would also remove the effects of people crowding in dense area. since poor useless people will move to lcol area with their free money. they wont be tied down to the city center.
but you cannot do any of these if you are running a 4% budget deficit and a debt to gdp of over 100%.we need higher taxes. anyways a trillion is easy to raise. if you literally just normalized social security where they collect taxes without a cap passed130k cap. which is equivalent to a 5% change in taxes for anyone making above 130k, and you’ll raise $500b. a 10% increase will raise a trillion. so this is enough to balance the current budget. if we eliminate the federal tax breaks and simplified the tax code even further, you can prolly raise another trillion that will cure poverty, end homelessness, urban crowding, and fix our budget. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/04/06/the-biggest-u-s-tax-breaks/
Opponents have since tried to compare Sanders to Trump, but he quickly differentiated himself as “not being a billionaire, not having investments in Saudi Arabia, wherever he has investments, all over the world,” per the Times. Sanders, the Times quickly pointed out, is a millionaire, to which Sanders said "I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.”
Because they’re looking for someone to tell them to hate themselves…because they hate themselves. There’s a whole gaggle on the left willing to make that sales pitch to them. Ultimately that is what this is all about.
Come on now, he’s not against people becoming wealthy, he’s against tax evasion and tax sheltering… People support him because he, like trump if we are being honest, are some of the few candidates who actually stand behind what they say.
