If we NEED homelessness in our economic system

[etoven]

Then we need to get a new one.  This one's broken.



This is seriously, LITERALLY, the solution they are proposing.  We need more people at the very bottom rung, homeless and helpless, for our economy to thrive.  Or... OR... just tax the wealthy more.  You know... that.  The one thing they don't ever want to do.  And by "they" I mean both parties, unfortunately.  Outside of a few outliers (who are all solely in the democratic party), we've got a two party system that both think a good solution is "some people dying on the streets now and then", as if it's necessary, as if it's just an unavoidable fact of life, as if we can't do better.

And they wonder why my generation and younger are rejecting capitalism.  This is why.  If this system demands literal blood sacrifice, it's evil.

Is John Stewart okay? LOL
