How to solve the poverty in the USA!💖

I. believe in rent control

2. I believe it to fire an employers should work with the employees to send them to rehab, counseling, training etc,not just fire employees.

3. The mentally ill need to be given a safe place to live to work on becoming stable, we have enough money without raising taxes, if politicians weren't so greedy with high salaries of $100,000 -$400,000 a year, 5 times the average salary of the population in the USA.

4. Some people lost their houses because they lost their jobs, and the banks kicked them out. It should be illegal for banks not to help families who have financial hardship, not just kick them out. So now we have millions of kids who were traumatised by seeing their parents fall apart and their pets go to shelters, and losing their friends when they have to move.

5. Some people lost their car when they lost their jobs. And if there were great mass transits they can get another job! We ned better mass transits for the young, the old, the handicapped.It would save money in the long run.

6. The car industry should not be allowed to bribe or lobby to take trains, and busses away because they want to make more money and sell more cars and politicians can be bought because they have enough money for a car so who cares about poor people without a car to get to work?

7. Some people lost their houses because they got sick and couldn't pay the deductibles of thousands of dollars. I believe in Universal healthcare so people wont lose their houses.

8. If we want an educated country like Europe, that has free colleges. we need to educate those who want to go to school Some people want to go to school but cant afford it because the loans are so expensive. I believe in free public colleges.

I love you no matter if you disagree with these ideas!💖

I agree with the intention but not the unintended outcomes of those policies. There'd be many people taking advantage of not being able to be fired. Then the other problems are mainly who pays for all this.

Would be nice though for sure.

@Ryannnnnn Why should the average politician make $200,000 a year when the average American makes $40,000?
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Carazaa Not sure, why should the average doctor make more than the average american?. It's sort of a specialised thing. I can't resent someone for trying hard.

However I do think it would be better if they weren't making as much and were more connected to the average working person, considering you're technically supposed to be a mouthpiece for them.

@Ryannnnnn Why should a doctor make a lot? Because it costs #300,000 to go to medical school. But politicians work for the people. They shouldn't go into politics to make money! but to help people!
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Carazaa Well a lot of the time experience in law can be required for some positions and that requires something like going to lawschool. Also more responsibility = more incentive.

I think the same for doctors, all doctors want to help people but the level of stress and responsibility isn't really sustainable unless you have incentive pushing you through it. You take on all this responsibility, you get all this reward.

@Ryannnnnn I believe money should never be the motivator for politics or a governmental position.
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Carazaa That's fair. I think it's kinda wishful thinking though, nobody wants to be blamed for everyones problems and make the same as the guy delivering eggs, they just wouldn't do it.

It'd be nice though if it was the case.

@Ryannnnnn People do not like to take advantage of a nice boss, no. Have you taken advantage of a nice person? I never have!
Carazaa · F
@Ryannnnnn When a lawyer becomes a politician they have another business. They don't need to take a huge salary!
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@Carazaa No, agreeable people don't take advantage, but disagreeable people will and do. Not everyones nice.

@Ryannnnnn That's why there is an EAP for employees that I think needs to be enforced first before firing anyone, that's all I'm saying if we are to solve the mental illness, addiction, and homeless problem..
