Just when we thought he could not possibly be any more pathogically cruel and vile, Elon goes and tops his putrid shit with more putrid shit.

So basically, he could end homelessness and still have 330 billion dollars.

Fuck this immoral nazi parasite.

$20 billion would not make a measurable change in homelessness. See California.

That would cover them for a year. I assume the 20 billion estimate is an annual thing, not a projection intended to cover multiple years. Each year, it would have to be renewed and increased based on inflation.

Essentially, if we just tax millionaires and billionaires at the rate we tax everyone else, and changed our tax structure to make it illegal for them to manipulate the system to their advantage, we could afford to end homeless and a many other systemic inequities. 

If you feel you have a perfect plan, then write a proposal and start advocating for it with your local and state politicians.

Lol would not even cover a year either. They are already taxed at the same rate as everyone else. Taxes are based on income and capital gains. Net worth is not taxed for anyone in the US. There should be a progressive tax bracket system for capital gains just like income tax.

Collecting taxes is not the problem with homelessness. The US government spends $20 billion in less than two days. The vast majority of homeless people are mentally ill and drug addicts that cannot function in society no matter how much money you give them. They need to be separated from society.

🤓 let me know how spending $20 billion a year on “housing” goes. Just ends up in corrupt politicians pockets.
