We are living in a country that is failing a huge majority of people because unfettered capitalism is allowing the wealthy to gain more and more control over the world's wealth.

And when thry screw up, They come running to the government for a handout of OUR INDIVIDUAL contributions.

affordable housing

Even tho WE ALL PAY A TAX somewhere
local state federal we all contribute in someone. Even those who don't pay taxes now they still contributed something in their life times. and If they didn't because of some type of issue, we the people should have the compassion to demand those people receive the most care. not the least.
