I can’t think of a single American state without a huge homelessness problem

Also, homeless people flock to California for very obvious reasons, which have little to do with California’s politics. If I had to live outside, but could afford a Greyhound ticket to the land of 75° and sunny 24/7-365, I’d be on that damn bus in a heartbeat. Who wouldn’t?

Doesn’t that make the OPs point redundant

No, because even with all those homeless people California is still a net contributor state to the federal coffers

That’s false, the homeless population has to do with Californias politics. For one, it is very expensive to live in California. Also, Californians are leaving in California because of the politics.

Isn’t it strange how California cleaned up their streets, which had shit and needles everywhere for China

It’s expensive to live in California because people wanna live there, ever heard of supply and demand?

It’s called taxing the rich you doofus. Elon can definitely spare one of his many billions to help your decrepit state

What do you think happens when you tax a rich even more? The prices go up that can’t be it only things get cheaper.

Where are you pulling this information from? It’s completely false. Also I nearly had an aneurysm trying to read this blasphemy against English of a comment

Common sense. Increasing taxes higher on the rich would result in them increasing the prices of their products. Plus people want them to pay their employees more so which would result in another increase. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand this

1) They’re raising the prices of all their products regardless, surprise! 2) Many of these companies barely pay their employees (see: Amazon). 3) People already lack spending power due to the shitty state of the economy. Billionaires are actively lobbying the government to destroy social welfare and shackle the average worker to the cesspool of end stage capitalism. Corporations are the problem, not the average consumer.

Also do you actually think taxing billionaires is going to hurt them in any meaningful way? You could tax Musk or Bezos for half their wealth to solve homelessness and poverty in the United States, and they’d still have no way to spend all of their money before they died.

1. I know but increasing taxes on the would result in it increasing more. 2. Amazon pays their employees 22 dollars an hour. They don’t need to be paid more than nurses nor other healthcare workers. 3. In aware, and I know what billionaires do. It’s just not a good result to tax them even more. It’s both, the consumer is willing to pay for bullshit, and the billionaires push the bullshit. Nothing wrong with capitalism

“Nothing wrong with capitalism” except it incentivizes corporations to dominate public and private life by monetizing literally everything. Citizens United was a direct result of capitalist pressure. Your life is literally worse off because all of these technological oligarchs have decided we’re worth little more than ants and you’re still defending them with some flimsy economic anecdote.

Also let me guess, you just took a look at the shitty AI summary instead of actually looking up Amazon salaries. Warehouse workers and delivery drivers make around $18-$19 per hour. That’s still barely anything considering doubling the minimum wage would still fail to subsidize the current cost of living.

Ok, describe the problem with socialism without relying on GOP fearmongering then.

California has something like 1/4th of all of America’s homeless population

The issue with “just tax the rich” is that eventually you run out of other people’s money

Taxing the rich and putting those resources back into social programs to support upcoming generations will improve the average consumer’s income and spending power. How is this not apparent
