Some rich people understand that wealth inequality is bad for democrcy, bad for the planet and bad for the vast majority of people.

I hate it here

Let this be a lesson against believing politicians lies.

Keeping wealth concentrated in the 1% is the end goal of capitalism.

They will do whatever is necessary to keep the working class desperate and dependent on the system that impoverishes them.

At the end of this article, a homeowner is quoted as saying that there is "no good solution" to the problem of homelessness. He is speaking in the context of a false choice - let homeless people camp in urban areas or force them to move.

There is a solution to homelessness - affordable housing. And it would be cheaper to build or convert existing structures for that purpose than it is to continue to persecute the most vulnerable people in America.

Affordable housing would make it possible for people who are experiencing homelessness to focus on solving the problems that caused them to become homeless. They would be able to get jobs - many homeless people have jobs, but homelessness makes it much harder.

There are agencies in every city that would help people access mental health services and/or address other factors that make it harder for them to succeed, such as substance abuse. Housing would make it easier for people to take advantage of those services.

There will always be people who can't become self-sufficient. Many of those people can contribute to their communities, if they are given some help.

The relative few who simply can't or won't contribute are still human beings and worthy of housing. If they had a place to go, they would cause fewer problems for others. And again, it would be cheaper in the long run to house them.

This would take funding, of course. In the 1950s, when America's economy was the best it has ever been, the top tax rate was 90%. We wouldn't have to raise taxes on billionaires nearly that much to pay for nation-wide affrodable housing. Of course, government jobs, as under the New Deal, would make it possible for many people to work for the betterment of their communities and themselves.

Build back better than it ever was. Vote blue.

Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.
