With just 2% of the current US military spending budget, the US gov't can end homelessness in the USA

I would still like to know why we can't just print a million dollars for everyone and turn this place into a utopia.

It would fix all of the problems right?

Is theft universally wrong, or is it ok depending who it is stole from?

It would make money worthless...I don't need your money so I won't work, I'll just print my own...society falls apart

Not an answer from you. I know you know the answer. I was asking those who think our money supply is infinite.

Taxes are what run a government, but wealth redistribution to those that won't work is absolute theft and morally wrong.

It would not fix our problems.
What would fix our problems is redistributing the wealth back down the totem pole.

The government in collusion with big business created policies that redistributes the wealth to the top. I say we end those policies.

I know what you said, but I am asking you if theft in itself is wrong period?

The wealthy create jobs and opportunities, the poor are selfish and only TAKE.

Well, BRIEF.... The entire country does revolve around you. Many disagree, and many would like an economy which is taxed and serves for the good of all.


I want to see universal basic income put in place.


Everyone would get a guaranteed income.... no matter who you are.


Wouldn't you prefer that your kids and your kid's kids to not have to worry about making money to merely survive?



With the coming AI industrial changes... with automation and stuff, this is what's going to happen.

Sorry :P

*Well, BRIEF.... The entire country doesn't revolve around you.

If the poor are selfish and only take then they would be wealthy.

There was a huge fish fry downtown a few weeks ago for the poor and you had people showing up in BMW's.

The wealthy got that way not from spending their own money but by spending other peoples money.

That is something Trump admitted as well that he has taken part of.

Mathematically unsustainable due to human nature alone...why work when I get a free check to live on? Who pays for that, Obama's stash?

Spending on military and homeland security is a small percentage of tax dollar. Majority is social programs...period.

So Brief, is theft wrong no matter what or who is doing it or is it conditional?

Poor people only consume, they do not save or invest, and therefore cannot become wealthy...the BMW's were probably ghetto naggers with leased cars...

It shows you are from the UK so STFU.

Most of the social programs are welfare for Big Business.
What do you think would happen to the Healthcare Industry if Medicare was ended?

Food stamps was lobbied for by the Grocery and Ag industry. Every time food stamps are cut back, the subsidies get increased to Corporate Farms.

Yeah get rid of it...we should not be required to have health care by the government!

Most people dont want handouts and throwing money at it wont make it go away. People have been priced out of the property market. also too many landlords are charging insane rents.

There are already enough empty houses to solve most of the problem. Lower house prices and limit how many properties one person can own. That will level the playing field a little bit.

Only the sick, elderly etc need subsidies.

The reason the government cannot get spending under control is because Big Business is owed to many favors and in the pockets of politicians.

Pick any spending program and Big Business is on the take.

The homeless and the destitute need a counselor to help them make smart decisions with what money they do get...poor people make poor decisions

There are a lot of houses that are kept off the market by the banks in order to maintain high housing prices.

It would cause medical costs to drop, and since most politicians are in the pockets of the industry it will never happen.

Yeah that is why we are for small government.

Fortunately we can rely on decades of data to find out what happens when you give homeless people, who are almost entirely low iq, low skilled, and/or mentally unwell, "free" housing.

You get violent, impoverished, deteriorating ghettos and millions more low iq, low skilled, and/or mentally unwell people who now EXPECT free housing, food, healthcare, sympathy, equal treatment for unequal effort, and who are encouraged by the enemy political parties to vote.

Your plan is fantastic if your goal is to destroy civilization.

Well, if you are only attacking the politicians and not the deep pockets, you will get nowhere.

You need to attack the Deep Pocket Corporations.

It is like us attacking terrorists and ignoring those who fund them.

We can kill off the terrorists but as long as the deep pockets fund it all, they can get more useful idiots to work for them.

The homeless population has been growing thanks to Globalism.

After the 2008 Financial Crisis, it skyrocketed.
That tells us many people did not choose to be homeless but the system made it so.

Putting them in prison will cost more than giving them housing.

Doing nothing will eventually lead to a serious disease outbreak that will cost us a lot.

We could kill them off, but the day we go down that avenue, is the day I welcome another country coming in a liberating us because we have gone over the line.

Hmmm, it appears our homeless problem is a direct result of our current form of society. A society based on greed with 2 separate set of laws, one set for us and one set for the oligarchs.

Everything is related.

Yep
With the 2008 Crisis, the wealthy got bailed out.
Everyone else was told, pull up your bootstraps, you are on your own.

I am homeless :(. There is a housing shortage. Charities I have approached don’t seem phased by my plight in the least. I contacted one church in Titusville but if you do not attend every service and take part in their programs, they shun you. Pews were mostly empty. Pastor was cocky and intimidating. I went to library to talk to a foodstamp worker and was pointed in her direction but she was tied up for an hour and I was working so went to front desk to ask about an appointment and the lady simply ignored me to a point I had no choice but to leave. They say: Do This. Do That. Go here. Go there. And when I do, there is either nothing there, “we don’t serve single senior citizens, jus women with children, or they tell me something different or i don’t qualify. It is like the Twilight Zone. Talked to other people living in the park, and it is the same with them.
